Review procedure for the evaluation of scientific work in the scientific community. Independent reviewers (peer reviewers) from the same field of work or the same subject area as the authors are consulted to assess the quality of the work. Many scientific journals use the peer-review procedure to decide on the publishability of manuscripts. A publication that has successfully passed the peer review process is called a reviewed paper. Applications for funding of research projects are also often peer-reviewed.
