The ‘gold standard’ of science is published research, not books about research per se, but rather scientific articles in peer-reviewed publications. On this score, only about 1% of Ph.D.s and M.D.s ever publish such articles, only about 2% of that group ever places an article in one of the handful of premier science journals, and only about 10% of this last group is ever asked to serve as a peer-reviewer of others’ research.

The scientists at FRI do original scientific research and have been asked to review the work of other scientists. Everything FRI has published has passed scientific peer-review. Its articles have been cited in major legal decisions, used by Congressional researchers, and employed by various State officials in blocking gay rights legislation and administrative proposals.

Only FRI has been able to publish — unchallenged in the professional literature — three different peer-reviewed articles proving scientific malfeasance on the part of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Psychological Association (APA),  the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and other professional organizations in their handling of homosexuality.
