How Peer Review Works
academic publishing
If it is, the editor sends it to two or three experts in the same field, who assess the methods and conclusions and recommend whether it should be accepted.
Only after this exchange, which can take many months, does the paper finally appear in print.
The author first submits the manuscript to a journal editor, who decides whether it is suitable for that journal.
Before a scientific paper is published in a reputable journal, it usually goes through a process known as peer review.
Based on their reports, the editor may reject the paper, accept it, or, most commonly, ask the author to make revisions.
