INTRODUC
TION
E ditorial Peer Review Helps in improving the quality of  
biological study findings.
Editorial peer review is a mechanism that is used all  
over the world to evaluate and enhance the quality of  
submissions to biomedical journals, both print and  
electronic.
Authors benefit from the assistance offered by reviewers  
and from the status conferred on them by publication in  j
ournals with high peer review standards.
This article conducted a review of existing evidence on  
the effectiveness of editorial peer review.
Contd...
Here are stated a few studies of reasonable quality, and most of these are  
concerned with the effects of blinding reviewers.
Scientific findings must withstand critical review if they are to be accepted as  
valid, and Editorial peer review (critique, effort to disprove) is an essential element 
 of a scientific process.
From journal selection to its submission, Phdssistance supports authors at each  
step and gets their work ready to be submitted for publication in high standard  
journals.
Our E diting Support service is designed specially for early-stage researchers to 
 make the rigorous publication process simple and easy.
THE USE OF PEER 
REVIEW
Learned societies and journal editors usually rely on the 
 views of independent (outside) content experts in  
making decisions on publication of submitted  m anuscri
pts or presentation of reports at meetings.
This system of appraisal is known as peer review.
The use of peer review is generally expected to raise  
the quality of the end-product (i.e. the journal or  
scientific meeting) and to provide a mechanism for  
rational, fair and objective decision-making (Rennie  
2003).
Surveys indicate that clinicians give greater credence to findings published in peer-reviewed  
journals , yet little attention is paid to the definition of peer review or effects of variations in review  
practices between journals (Godlee 2003).

OBJECTIV
ES
To estimate the effect of processes, or combinations of  
processes, in editorial peer review on the outcomes studied  
in the r esearch on this topic. These processes are grouped  
as:
different ways of screening submissions (i.e. carrying  
out a preliminary assessment of the submission)
different ways of assigning submissions (i.e. choosing  
and assigning assessors to the submission)
different ways of masking submissions (i.e. concealing  
the identity and background of the authors and/or the  
assessors)

different ways of eliciting internal opinions (i.e. opinions on the scientific quality of 
 the
 submission from those within the publishing organisation)
different ways of eliciting external opinions (i.e. opinions on the scientific quality of
  the submissions from those outside the publishing
 organisation)
different(grouporsingleperson)decision-making
procedures(i.e.deciding  whether to publish the submission)
different types of feedback to author(s) and subsequent revision of submissions

BLINDED PEER 
REVIEW
Thetraditionalmethod ofpeerreviewis
single-blind peer review.
Reviewers theidentitiesof
are aware of  authors, but unawareof the
authors are  identities of
 reviewers.
(Indouble-blindreviewneitherthereviewers  nor 
the writers know who is on the other
 side.)

CONCLUS
ION
Peer review is an important component in  
improving the quality of scientific publications [1].
Most scientific journals incorporate it to help  
editors make judgments and improve the quality  
of published articles [4].
