What does peer reviewed mean?
Peer reviewd is the same as Scholarly, or refereed. Articles that are peer reviewed come from journals that have a submission process. When an author wants to submit an article, his/her article is first reviewed to determine such things as appropriate content, bias, facts, research, statistics, etc. In other words the article is checked out extensively before ever being put into the journal. Time, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone are not peer reviewed.
