Peer Review

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Peer review is the process where independent experts evaluate a scientist's work before publication, checking it is original, sound, and thorough.

Show

A journal sends a submitted paper on a new hypothesis to researchers in the same field, who can reject it, demand revisions, or approve it.

Watch for

Peer review filters weak work before publication; it doesn't certify a paper beyond later revision.
