What is an emerging infectious disease and what are 2 reasons it might be emerging? ›Emerging infectious diseases are infections that have recently appeared within a population or those whose incidence or geographic range is rapidly increasing or threatens to increase in the near future. Emerging infections can be caused by: Previously undetected or unknown infectious agents.
What are current emerging infectious diseases? ›Emerging diseases include HIV infections, SARS, Lyme disease, Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli), hantavirus, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus.

Can you trust peer-reviewed information? ›Peer-review is by no means perfect. It is itself subject to bias, as most things in research are. Evidence from a peer-reviewed article does not make it reliable, based only on that fact.
How trustworthy are peer-reviewed? ›While there are a lot of factors to consider, finding out if the article is peer-reviewed can be a quick litmus test for credibility. However, just because a paper is published in a “peer-reviewed journal,” does not mean that the paper is completely fact-checked, unbiased, or correct.

What is the downside of peer review? ›Con: Peer reviews can create confusion
Being reviewed by peers means that one person will no longer be evaluating someone's performance. While the goal is to create more balanced, accurate feedback, the downside is that multiple reviewers can cause confusion. People may get clashing feedback.
The Don'ts of Peer Review
Don't make any personal reference to the authors and avoid exclamation points or an emotional style. Peer review is not an emotional process. Don't say things like, "I don't believe it" and "I find this unconvincing. I find these results underwhelming or trivial or not important."
A rude peer-review is unfair and biased for reasons unrelated to the quality of the manuscript such as the nationality, gender, English language criticism, opposite theory or conflicts of interest [2, 18]. It is a discouraging, insulting, dishonest and unhelpful review with impossible requests to the authors.
Do peer reviewers make mistakes? ›People make mistakes.
Even if every person involved in the publication of a manuscript catches 99% of all errors, it's still possible that some errors will go unnoticed. This likelihood of course goes up when authors/reviewers are careless, but it can never be eliminated entirely even with very meticulous review.
Peer reviews require honesty and trust. Make sure that peers who wish to evaluate their teammates will be able to do so with anonymity from both managers and their peers.
How do you know if a peer-reviewed article is credible? ›
- An author who is an expert or a well-respected publisher (such as the NY Times or Wall Street Journal).
- Citations for sources used.
- Up-to-date information for your topic.
