What is Peer Review?

Peer review is a process where a researcher's work is evaluated by other experts in the same field to ensure it contains credible information before being published in an academic journal.   Peer-reviewed articles can be difficult to find online via search engines like Google, so be sure to use the Library when searching for these types of articles.
