Abstract
The concept of peer review of manuscripts goes back to the founding of the first technical journal, the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, in London in 1665. That journal published papers shared at meetings and served as a permanent record of those contributions to knowledge. Peer review in those days was essentially the acceptance of a person's credentials for election to the Society. Since that time, and especially during the past 80 years, peer review has evolved into the process of double-anonymous vetting of manuscripts by expert reviewers that we take for granted today for most technical and professional journals.
