-As another mechanism to assure scientific quality, the IMAGE model is subjected to review procedures at irregular intervals, most recently in 2006 for the just released model version 2.4. Also with the release of IMAGE3.0, an advisory boards is assembled and asked for a review of the current model version. The Advisory Board performing the review looks at various aspects, such as scientific rigor and quality of the methods and data. As the scientific quality of the overall framework hinges critically on sufficient and adequate resources, the organizational set-up, personal capacity and expertise at PBL and the partner organizations,  the merits and risks of the network strategy also form part of the Advisory Board’s review.
