A two part study was conducted to determine if the peer review system of proposals to the National Science Foundation (NSF) operates fairly and if changes are warranted. Part I (reported in ED 167376) extensively described the peer review process and indicated that it is indeed equitable. Phase II, summarized, investigated the issue further by addressing three major questions: (1) Do program directors bias the peer-review process by their selection of reviewers? (2) Is a system of "blind" reviewing feasible and practicable? and (3) If so, would the results differ from those of conventional review procedures? In an effort to answer these three questions, independent reviewers selected by the Committee on Science and Public Policy (COSPUP) of the National Academy of Science replicated the NSF's peer-review procedures. Section I summarizes the design and discusses the difficulties involved in blinding a proposal. Sections II an III compare the results of NSF reviewers with those of COSPUP on non-blinded and blinded proposals, respectively, and indicate that no major difference exists between the results of the two groups of raters. Section III also discusses the difficulties associated with blind reviewing. Section V lists and discusses 12 recommendations for changes in the NSF peer review process. (DC)

Making "Nature" is the first book to chronicle the foundation and development of Nature, one of the world's most influential scientific institutions. Now nearing its hundred and fiftieth year of publication, Nature is the international benchmark for scientific publication. Its contributors include Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, and Stephen Hawking, and it has published many of the most important discoveries in the history of science, including articles on the structure of DNA, the discovery of the neutron, the first cloning of a mammal, and the human genome. But how did Nature become such an essential institution? In Making "Nature," Melinda Baldwin charts the rich history of this extraordinary publication from its foundation in 1869 to current debates about online publishing and open access. This pioneering study not only tells Nature's story but also sheds light on much larger questions about the history of science publishing, changes in scientific communication, and shifting notions of "scientific community." Nature, as Baldwin demonstrates, helped define what science is and what it means to be a scientist.
