Feedback:
Usually, manuscripts are reviewed by two or more peer reviewers (other researchers) who make recommendations about whether to accept or reject the manuscript, or to suggest revisions. Reviews are usually "blind"—reviewers are not told researchers' names, and authors are not told reviewers' names.
