Peer Review involves a lot of steps. It starts with a research completing their research project, analyzing their data, and then writing a paper (manuscript) that describes their research and findings. Once the paper is written, the researcher(s) determine a journal that they would like to submit their manuscript too. The manuscript is sent to an Editor, who determines if the manuscript meets the scope/standards of the journal. If it does, then the editor send the manuscript to be read and reviewed by peer reviewers. They send it back to the Editor, who then send it back to the researcher(s) who make revisions and resubmit for review again. These steps can repeat multiple times, until the paper is where the researcher(s), Editor, and peer reviewers all agree that the paper is ready for publication.
