What is a Peer-Reviewed Journal?

Peer Review is a process that journals use to ensure the articles they publish represent the best scholarship currently available. When an article is submitted to a peer reviewed journal, the editors send it out to other scholars/ researchers in the same field (the author's peers) to get their opinion on the quality of scholarship, its relevance to the field, its appropriateness for the journal, etc. A Peer-reviewed article is also called a Refereed article. Peer-reviewed articles are often published in Peer-reviewed journals.
