Peer Reviewed Articles

Scholarly journals are journals that publish peer reviewed articles. A peer reviewed article is one that has been scrutinized by other scholars or experts (peer reviewers) in a field prior to publication. Peer reviewers look to see that an article

  • conforms to accepted standards of a profession
  • makes no unwarranted or irrelevant claims based on the evidence
  • is free from unacceptable interpretations and personal views
