What is the difference between a report and a peer-reviewed article?
What will be an ideal response?
A wide variety of agencies and organizations conduct research and issue reports. Frequently, these reports are sponsored by the agency that is distributing them, and the only editorial review that takes place is within that agency. Academic research papers are submitted to academic journals for a process called "peer review." Peer review indicates that the journal editors have recruited outside reviewers with expertise in the paper's topic. The reviewers read and assess the article, identifying problems and making recommendations for improvements. Neither the reviewer nor the author knows who the other parties are to avoid a biased review. Only after the expert reviewers have agreed that the work is valid can the paper be published. This is why journal articles are so high in the hierarchy of respected sources.
