Validating the accuracy of our research
The Fraser Institute maintains a rigorous peer review process for its research.
New research, major research projects, and substantively modified research conducted by the Fraser Institute are reviewed by a minimum of one internal expert and two external experts. Reviewers are expected to have a recognized expertise in the topic area being addressed. Whenever possible, external review is a blind process.
Commentaries and conference papers are reviewed by two internal experts. Fraser Forum magazine maintains a list of reviewers that it uses to review all articles published in the magazine.
Updates to previously reviewed research or new editions of previously reviewed research do not require a review unless the update includes substantive or material changes in the methodology.
The review process is overseen by the directors of the Institute's research departments, who are responsible for ensuring all research published by the Institute passes through the appropriate peer review.
The Institute also maintains an Editorial Advisory Board, which is a panel of scholars from the United States, Canada and Europe. The panel is the final arbiter in the Institute’s peer review process.
