Peer review is a process in which manuscripts are evaluated by experts in the field before being accepted for publication. This ensures that only high-quality work is published in academic journals. The peer review process is also used to assess grant proposals and research papers submitted to conferences.
There are typically three parties involved in the peer review process: the author, the editor, and the reviewers. The author submits their manuscript to an editor at a journal or conference. The editor then selects a group of reviewers who are experts in the field and have not been involved in the development of the manuscript. These reviewers evaluate the quality of the work and provide feedback to the editor. The editor then makes a decision on whether to accept or reject the manuscript based on these reviews.
