What Does Peer Reviewed Mean?

When an article is submitted, experts in the author's field evaluate it for credibility, quality, and validity. These peers carefully assess the accuracy of the manuscript and scrutinize the research methods and procedures used.

They may recommend revisions or reject the article if they find issues with its value or methodology.

This rigorous process ensures that published information in academic journals is credible and valid.
