Abstract

Although much has been written on peer review, most models fall short of a complete and practical guide for implementation. I begin by discussing some earlier proposals for implementation and highlighting how they fall short. I then suggest some goals and guiding principles for any successful model, such as the need for reflection, communication and choice on the part of the reviewee and the recognition of the cost of implementation. I then propose a model that is flexible and generic by posing six key questions: why, what, who, how, how to report; and how to follow up.
