Becoming a WWC-Certified Reviewer

WWC-certified reviewers have attended an in-person training session led by the WWC, have passed a multiple choice test covering WWC concepts, and have successfully completed a review of a study against WWC evidence standards using the WWC study review guide.

Currently, three different training sessions are available: Group Design (RCT and QED), Single-Case Design (SCD), and Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD). All training sessions focus explicitly on the WWC evidence standards and how they apply to research design, methodology, and analysis.

The WWC review process is challenging. Strong design and analysis skills are required for understanding technical concepts about study design, calculating effect sizes, and determining the statistical significance of findings. Typically, individuals with the requisite skills will have an earned doctorate in social science (e.g., economics, sociology, psychology) or equivalent.
