Every academic scientist will come into contact with peer review process either as a reviewer of others work, or as an author whose work is being reviewed by others, or as an applicant for research grant. Historically, peer review process came at various times to various journals for a variety of reasons in haphazard manner. Many forms of criticisms have been made against the process of peer review, and some critics do not believe that the process prevents the publication of flawed articles and fraudulent research. Despite the criticisms, there are advantages of peer review. At present in medical journalism peer review process is an indispensable entity for assessing manuscripts intended for publication.
每位学术科学家都会以他人作品评审者、自己作品被他人评审者或研究资助申请者的身份接触同行评审过程。从历史上看，同行评审过程因各种原因在不同时间以杂乱无章的方式出现在各种期刊上。针对同行评审过程提出了许多形式的批评，一些批评者认为该过程无法防止有缺陷的文章和欺诈性研究的发表。尽管存在批评，但同行评审也有其优点。目前在医学新闻领域，同行评审过程是评估拟发表稿件不可或缺的环节。
