Post a description of the peer-review process, including how it works, the benefits of this system, and an example of how this process might not work as intended. If you were a researcher or journal editor, what would you propose to do differently to improve the process?

Review this week’s Learning Resources about the peer-review process.
• Go to the following website: http://www.biopsychology.com/news. In the top, right-hand corner box (Search Article Summaries), select a keyword link that you are interested in (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Browse through two or three recent articles (published within the past 5 years). Take note of the style of writing that is used, as well as the level of description of the studies. Note that these articles are typically written by science journalists about someone else’s research.
• Next, visit the Walden online journal collection, and locate a peer-reviewed journal article related to the same topic (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Be sure that the article you select is a research report—that is, it should contain sections that describe in detail the sample of individuals studied, the methods of data collection, and the results of the study. As you read the article, take note of the style of writing used by the author(s) and the level of description of the study. Compare this article to those you read from the BioPsychology.com website
• Record citations for all of the articles you read for this Discussion.

In a second paragraph, post a brief summary of one of the BioPsychology.com articles and another brief summary of the research article (include both in-text citations and a complete reference in APA format). Compare the two types of information on criteria such as ease of understanding, level of detail, and accuracy. Address both similarities and differences in the papers. Finally, describe the benefits of each type of article for college students studying brain and behavior or for researchers studying the brain. (Note: You only need to address either students or researchers.)
