Description

Peer review developed in the twentieth century to increase the authenticity of published material. Furthermore, after World War II, the federal government increased funding for research to ensure the country’s safety and health. Peer review became an essential ingredient for ensuring the quality of funded research. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, an abundance of papers have been published to claim the distinction of contributing to the disease’s treatment as well as to acquire funding and/or profits.
