Peer review and federal regulations

Article Abstract:

The White House Office of Management and Budget's bulletin on peer review may not be the best way of ensuring that public policy decisions are based on scientific evidence. The bulletin establishes government-wide standards for peer review that would apply to all government agencies that fund scientific research. However, this could be used by special interest groups that hope to block certain public policy decisions that would affect them adversely.
