Peer Review is written by David Shatz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0742514358 (ISBN 10) and 9780742514355 (ISBN 13).

While much literature has sprouted on peer review, this is the first book-length, wide-ranging study that utilizes methods and resources of contemporary philosophy. It covers the tension between peer review and the liberal notion that truth emerges when ideas proliferate in the marketplace of ideas; arguments for and against blind review of submissions; the alleged conservatism of peer review; the anomalous nature of book reviewing; the status of non-peer-reviewed publications; and the future of peer review.
