Abstract

Although evaluation reports produced in the Department of National Defence have been subject to peer assessment since 1972, limited evidence to support this practice was found in the evaluation literature. Peer assessments are used to ensure that evaluation standards have been met, to correct gaps in reasoning and errors, and to solicit insights from reviewers.
