Of course, there are some. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alar_Toomre cites a few peer reviewed papers, although one is by the subject. But that's still only ~10% of the total references, and the biography mostly recounts the science he's done.>> ----------------------------------------- I think in general biographical tidbits are not reviewed in the sense that "peer review" is trying to project. In a paper on "Mitochrondrial Influences of Bat-Wing Geese population studies..." I don't think any of the *peers* are really *verifying* themselves statements like "Mr Brown was born in Topeka and graduated from Bradford University in 1982..." What they are verifying, either with their own knowledge or by experimentation or consultation, is the *science* in the papers, not the biographical snippets. So my point, in this thread, is that I don't know of any actual "peer-reviewed" biographical journals, who has biographies of living persons, and whose main or sole point is biography.
