Doing Research with MJL Resources

Peer-reviewed articles go through rigorous screening before being published in a peer-reviewed (aka scholarly) journal.

• Experts or professionals conduct a study.
• They write an article about their study.
• They send a draft of the article to the journal editor. The journal editor sends the article to other experts in the field (peers of the authors) for review prior to publishing. Experts verify that the data collection & analysis were valid and that the conclusions are logical. They suggest revisions.
• The journal editor returns the draft article to the original experts or professionals for revision. 
• The article is published.
