Ensuring the Quality and Credibility of Information |

In order to ensure the quality and credibility of the scientific information we disseminate to the public, the Fish and Wildlife Service has implemented a formal “peer review” process for influential scientific documents. While we have always consulted experts to ensure that our science is sound, through this peer review process we will follow the guidelines for Federal agencies spelled out in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) “Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review,” released December 16, 2004. Part of the peer review process is to provide information on the Web about how each peer review is to be conducted, as described in this checklist.
