What is "Peer-Reviewed" Anyway? by kris_swank on 07-27-2011
Outside of the Library
Hey Gabby, my Anthro teacher said I needed "peer-reviewed" articles for my research paper. What's that?
I don't know. Like, I'm your peer, so like, maybe I'm supposed to read it and, like, tell you what I think.
In the Library
...yeah, so that didn't sound quite right. Can you help me?
Sure. Your peer is another student, but an anthropologist's peer is another anthropologist. "Peer-reviewing" is a process where people in the same field evaluate each other's work to ensure quality.
In the Library
This'll be easy! The librarian said most library databases have a check-box for finding "peer-reviewed", or "scholarly" articles.
