Peer reviewers are chosen as peer reviewers for a reason—unlike the hoi polloi that roam the Internet, they have the knowledge and experience to judge scientific research on its merits. Furthermore, the peer review process strengthens papers, as authors are forced to defend their research??s weaknesses—without peer review the temptation to prematurely publish incomplete or uncontrolled experiments will be formidable.

Between sophomore and junior years, most concentrators begin looking for a lab to work part time in for course credit. Don’t limit yourself to Mallinckrodt Hall, either: opportunities abound in other chemistry-related departments, at the technical school down Mass...
