Abstract
Peer review of submitted manuscripts refers to the process of sending out papers for evaluation by suitably qualified academics/practitioners working in the same area. After their assessments and recommendations have been addressed by submitting authors editors will decide on whether publication is warranted or not. Unfortunately, 'peer review' has achieved a high status in courts without a real understanding of the way that the system works. Given that it has been deemed: 'a flawed process, full of easily identified defects with little evidence that it works', greater understanding of the nature of peer review is required. The following paper provides an overview of its strengths and weaknesses.
