Prompt: Describe the process of peer review to someone who does not frequently read scientific articles. In your response, consider the pros and cons of peer review and how that might impact the credibility of the results that come from that scientific article
Peer review works by having an anonymous party with a similar level of understanding reading the paper/essay/research and pointing out issues and areas of improvement. Some pros of peer review is that you can gain knowledge from others without feeling scrutinized, given that it is anonymous. Some cons of peer review that may impact credibility is that you are simply trusting that someone has a similar level of knowledge on the subject and hoping that their edits and suggestions are helpful.
