Qualified and equal standing individuals within the relevant field.

isA process of self-evaluation and self-improvement through the systematic and collaborative comparison of practice and performance in order to identify own strengths and weaknesses, and learn how to adapt and improve as conditions change”

This process of evaluation “Offers a way of identifying 'better and smarter' ways of doing things and understanding why they are better or smarter. These insights can then be used to implement changes that will improve practice or performance.”

PEER REVIEW IN MU.COM. PROJECT

If a peer review is an ‘assessment of performance’ from ‘experts’ (peers), the final goal of the PEER REVIEW IN the MU.COM. PROJECT is the individualization of points of strength and weakness, so as to learn, to adapt and to implement the conditions of the transfer of the know-how concerning the museum communicator.

The goal is reached through the systematic and cooperative comparison of the used communicative practices and the related employment and necessity of professional resources.
