What is Peer Review?-2
Also called scholarly or academic articles, peer reviewed research articles have been written by researchers and reviewed by their peers.
Peer reviewed articles can be contrasted to articles published in trade journals or popular magazines. These articles may also have helpful information, but they do not go through a rigorous peer review process.
