Why is peer review an important part of the scientific process? a. it permits scientists to have their work translated into other languages. b. it ensures that the quality of scientific research is maintained. c. it the scientist decide how to conduct the scientific investigation. d. it increases scientists’ knowledge about other disciplines of science.

The answer is: B. It ensures that the quality of scientific research is maintained.

It is common in the field of health care.

Consensus is achieved through communication at conferences, the publication process, replication and peer review.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
