A Brief Introduction to Peer Review
by Shoilen Sannamat SEO ExpertPeer review is primarily a process of reviewing an article before it is sent forward to get published in journals and other publications. The process of peer review ensures the best quality of an article so that the published content is good enough for the readers to read.
Here is the basic process of peer review. Following steps are included in this peer review process:
· When the article is written to get published in a scholarly journal, it is sent to the editor of the journal. The editor then forwards this piece of writing to the expert reviewers so that they can check the article and ensure that the article is clean from mistakes and is suitable in terms of scientific results to be published. These reviewers hold expertise in the same field as the writer of the article. This is the reason; they have been given the name of author’s peers. The name peer review is solely because of this reason too.
· These reviewers carefully evaluate the quality of the articles and pinpoint the mistakes so that the articles become error free and full of information. As they know the details about the article’s topic; therefore, they use their knowledge to evaluate the article’s quality and information.
· In addition, the peer reviewers check the information provided in the articles using researches and methodologies. They check out whether the information provided is authentic and valid or not. The manuscript is checked for accuracy of the information added into the article.
· In case, the information contained by the article is not valid, then these articles are rejected by the reviewers. However, if they find out small mistakes, they pinpoint them and suggest the editor to ask the author to do some revisions and clean out the mistakes from the articles.
The journals cannot publish the articles which fail to meet its requirements. The articles which contain the right information and are valid enough are published by the journals. This is why; an efficient peer review process is required in order to provide the editors the most promising articles published in their publications.
