What is Peer Review?

Your professor may say that you must use only peer-reviewed journal articles in your research assignment. But what does this mean?

Peer review is the process by which an article is approved for publication in a scholarly journal. Before acceptance in the journal, it must be reviewed by peer experts in the field to ensure that it meets a high standard of scholarship.

Think of peer review as a stamp of approval that lets you know that an article meets the accepted standards of its field.
