| Summary: | A detailed investigation into the peer review system of Angewandte Chemie, one of the world's leading chemistry journals, to test whether such systems prevent bias and fraud or hinder innovative research. The analysis focuses on the content of referee reports and the level of agreement between them, the fate and impact of papers rejected by the journal and published elsewhere, and the degree to which editors' and reviewers' decisions are based on such incidental aspects as nationality, academic credentials, and subject area.
