What is a peer-reviewed article?
Answer
A peer-reviewed article is a scholarly work that has been subjected to scrutiny by experts in the same field before publication. This process, known as peer review or referee review, aims to ensure the article's quality, validity, and originality. Think of it as a critical evaluation by fellow researchers to weed out errors, biases, and unsubstantiated claims, ultimately contributing to the credibility of published research.
