Peer reviewed describes work—usually academic research—that has been evaluated by experts in the same field before publication.
A peer-reviewed article has passed scrutiny from other specialists who assess its methods, evidence, and conclusions.
The process aims to filter out flawed or fraudulent research: The journal only publishes peer-reviewed studies.
Also spelled peer-reviewed.
