The "Peer review": learning together among equals" August 2005 Author: SDC - Manuel Flury / Malte Lipczinsky / Peter Meier / Kuno Schläfli Peer Reviews are events in which professionals, who are themselves involved in practical work in different contexts, undertake to evaluate the work of colleagues active in the same domain in other countries or regions in order to jointly develop ways to improve their work. Ideally speaking, peer review events take place over a period of several years in a process of reciprocal exchange of rolls between those conducting the evaluation and those being evaluated. This means that the peers regularly alternate in evaluating and being evaluated. Keywords: peer review Download (PDF, 58 KB): [en]
