What is "Peer-Reviewed"?
What does "peer-reviewed" mean?
If an article is peer-reviewed, it was reviewed by scholars who are experts in related academic or professional fields before publication. Those scholars assessed the quality of the article's research and its overall contribution to the literature in their field.
When discussing peer-reviewed journals, we're referring to journals that use a peer-review process.
> Remember! In addition to research articles, sometimes journals that use a peer review process will also publish material that wasn't reviewed, such as editorial letters, news items, or book reviews. Typically, only reports of research will go through a peer-review process.
