    The Think Twice Think Tank Review Project provides the public, policymakers, and the press with timely, academically sound reviews of selected think tank publications.  Reviewers for the project apply academic peer review standards to reports from think tanks and write brief reviews for the project website. They are asked to examine the reports for the validity of assumptions, methodology, results, and strength of links between results and policy recommendations. The reviews, written in non-academic language, are intended to help policy makers, reporters, and others assess the merits of the reviewed reports.
