Research peer review is part of the editorial process of academic journals and scientific journals and is the "evaluation by experts of the quality and pertinence of research or research proposals of other experts in the same field. Peer review is used by editors in deciding which submissions warrant publication, by granting agencies to determine which proposals should be funded, and by academic institutions in tenure decisions."[1]

The cost of peer review has been estimated at £165 million (US$326 million).[2]

Recently, blog-based peer-review has been tested, yielding mixed results.[3]
