Macdonald-Kelce Library: PAM Physician Assistant Medicine: Journals and Articles

Peer Review

In publishing, the object of peer review is to evaluate the quality of articles submitted for publication in a scholarly journal before the submitted article is considered worthy of publication. A peer-reviewed journal has a process for scholars in the same area as the submitted article will review it as to its merits.
