Abstract:
Throughout the world, peer review serves as the cornerstone of the scientific enterprise, providing rigorous quality control and building the confidence that underpins progress for both science and society. Without such a robust process, scientists and the general public would rapidly lose the ability to distinguish groundbreaking advances from noise, which undermines policy decisions, research translation, and most importantly, public trust in science. Sadly, that is exactly what has been happening in Australia.
