Peer Review

Peer review is the process by which a piece of scientific research, such as a manuscript, a project, a grant proposal, or academic work is assessed by others – a researcher’s fellow peers – who are suitably qualified and able to judge the piece of work under review in terms of novelty, soundness and significance. In general, it is a critique of submitted work.
