A peer-reviewed article is a scholarly article that has been reviewed and edited by experts from the article’s specific field. Many of these articles often include the following sections: an abstract, introduction, methods, discussion, a conclusion, and references.
Many classes and assignments in college require the use of peer-reviewed articles when doing research, because the information in these articles has been thoroughly vetted and confirmed by experts.
