What does "peer-reviewed" mean? Is it the same as "refereed?"
Answer
"Peer-reviewed" and "refereed" are used synonymously.
"Peer-reviewed" (refereed or scholarly) journals - Articles are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to ensure the article’s quality. (The article is more likely to be scientifically valid, reach reasonable conclusions, etc.)" Source: Angelo State University libguide
