Peer review is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work, research, or ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given and often narrowly defined field, who are qualified and able to perform impartial review. Impartial review of work is difficult to accomplish and the significance (good or bad) of an idea may never be widely appreciated among its contemporaries. This process encourages authors to meet the accepted standards of their discipline and prevents the dissemination of irrelevant findings, unwarranted claims, unacceptable interpretations, and personal views.

Publications that have not undergone peer review are likely to be regarded with suspicion by scholars and professionals.

Referees evaluations usually include an explicit recommendation of what to do with the manuscript or proposal, often chosen from options provided by the journal. Most recommendations are along the lines of the following:

• To unconditionally accept the manuscript or proposal,
• To accept it in the event that its authors improve it in certain ways,
• To reject it, but encourage revision and invite re-submission,
• To reject it outright.
