IdeaCHECK™

An ideaCHECK - an independent review of publicly released reports (ie white papers, government discussion papers, industry association/lobby group discussion papers and where warranted consulting firm research reports). The goal is to bring academic peer review beyond the scientific journals and in so doing raise the standard of public discourse on economic and business matters. Each offers the opportunity for members of the public to comment on the report or the review.
