Many academic journals use a scholarly form of review called "peer review" for articles they publish. When an author sends an article to a journal, the editor sends it to several peer reviewers for evaluation. These reviewers are typically scholars in the field and they examine the paper's methodology, literature review, and conclusions and they note any bias or flaws. Upon review, they accept, request modifications from the author, or reject the article. This process ensures a higher standard of excellence in research and publication.
