the majority of journal articles do not go through critical review, can we rely on the results from those papers as they went through peer review but not critical review?
Scientific peer reviews require a number of other scientists to have approved the scientific validity of the paper, so they can be even more demanding than a critical review. In addition, journal articles will typically go through more scrutiny from a methodological point of view.
Of course, both types of reviews have risks of excessive complacency, so at Earthster we advocate for review and validations of the actual models in all cases.
