peer-reviewed study
Expert-checked scientific paper
A peer-reviewed study is research that has been evaluated by other experts in the field before publication.
The peer review process checks methodology, analysis, and conclusions for validity.
Peer review serves as a quality filter in academic and scientific publishing, though it doesn't guarantee findings are correct—only that qualified reviewers found the work sound enough to publish.
The peer-reviewed study appeared in a major medical journal.
