<p>It would be helpful for the report to include a statement about
non-peer reviewed literature, especially that, when used as examples of
research activities (rather than research outcomes) or agency practice,
the use of non-peer reviewed literature is useful. Those comments are
not appropriate within my specific chapter.</p></td>
