Peer reviewed articles are found in academic or scholarly journals. They are written by scholars and experts, but there is an extra step before publication: Other equally qualified scholars and experts review each article for accuracy and significance before it can be published in a peer reviewed journal.
Because of this more rigorous process, a peer reviewed article is considered to have the most value, even more than other scholarly articles.
