anyone know if it has been published in a peer review paper? if so, which one?

There are references at the bottom of the wikipedia link, here's probably what you're looking for.

 

C. Brans and R. H. Dicke (1961). Mach's principle and a relativistic theory of gravitation. Phys. Rev. 124: 925.

 

EDIT: After looking up this paper, I noticed its been cited 1670 times by OTHER peer reviewed papers. Wow.

apparently the only reason brans-dicke theory isn't accepted as the gold standard of gravity is that there is a "tunable constant" (omega) that can be made to fit experimental observation.
