Sistemas de evaluación de trabajos para publicaciones científicas (peer review)

The peer review is a process that journals use to evaluate the articles they publish. When an article is submitted to a peer reviewed journal, the editors send it out to other scholars (the author's peers) to get their opinion on the quality of the work's scholarship, its relevance to the field, etc. Referees' evaluations usually include an explicit recommendation of what to do with the manuscript or proposal, often chosen from options provided by the journal or funding agency. Since reviewers are normally selected from experts in the fields discussed in the article, the process of peer review is considered critical to establishing a reliable body of research and knowledge
