pg15

Thirteenth online page shows tree scientist in a forest explaining scientific reports and scientific journals and peer review. Dialogue: Scientists write up a report of their results so other scientists will know what they found out. But it isn’t as easy as just writing it down. Oh, here’s Dr Silva to explain. Hi everyone. I study the world’s climate as it’s been recorded by trees. When I write a report I want to get the most people I can to read it. So I submit the report, also called “a paper,” for publication in a scientific journal. But the journal won’t just take my word for it that my research is so great; that my findings are so wonderful and interesting. Instead they ask a bunch of other scientists first. Other experts who understand how the world’s climate affects its trees. They don’t tell me who the other scientists are. They’re anonymous. They are my peers. That’s why it’s called peer review.
