What are Peer Reviewed Articles?

Peer reviewed articles are published in scholarly, peer reviewed journals and usually follow a consistent format. The articles have gone through a "peer review process" wherein a panel of experts has approved of the quality of writing, soundness of the research methods, logic of results, and significance to the field.

 

Sections of a Peer Reviewed Article

►Abstract: Identifies the focus of the article

►Introduction: Provides context for the article

►Methods: Discusses study design and research methods

►Results: May include graphs, charts, figures, and tables

►Discussion: Where authors write about what their results mean

►Conclusion: Wraps up the article

►References: Section at the end of the paper that lists the other publications the authors cited
