Abstract
Peer review is a process whereby scientific experts evaluate a manuscript and provide feedback, offering a recommendation of whether the work is suitable for publication. In this article, we discuss the principles behind peer review and the different forms that it can take. We discuss the importance of peer reviewing, its drawbacks and the reasons an individual may want to become a peer reviewer.
