What is Peer Review?

In the peer review process, scholars and experts in a specific area of research review another author's research and writing for accuracy before it is published in a peer-reviewed journal. To learn more about peer reviewed sources, watch a short video on Peer Review from the Library's Credo Information Literacy Learning Module on Sources of Information.
