What is a peer-reviewed journal article?
Peer-reviewed journal articles are published in scholarly periodicals using a process requiring that each article submitted for publication is judged (reviewed) by an independent panel of experts within a field a study. Articles not approved by a majority of these peers are not accepted for publication by the journal. Authors may receive a conditional acceptance on a submitted manuscript, which means that publication is contingent on the author making changes as suggested by reviewers. Peer-reviewed articles are also referred to as “refereed articles.
