SciPinion

We recruit, engage and manage expert peer review panels.

As part of our peer review practice, we have developed a formal approach to identifying, recruiting, selecting and engaging panels of experts to minimize potential bias. We have also developed a robust web app that facilitates collections of opinions and debates amongst panels of experts, all while keeping experts anonymous to each other during the engagement. Our approach to asking detailed questions with quantitative response options supports quantitative measures of opinions and statistical measures of outliers and consensus amongst panels of experts. This integrated approach has been shown to yield reproducible results (Kirman et al., 2019). No other company or government body has tested or proven that their approach to assembling and conducting peer review panels yields reproducible results/outcomes.
