What is Peer Review in Modern Academia?

Peer review process with AI integration in 2025
The peer review process has evolved with technological advancements in 2025

Peer review remains the cornerstone of academic quality assurance, where subject experts evaluate research manuscripts before publication. In 2025, this process has evolved beyond traditional models to incorporate AI-assisted screening, collaborative review platforms, and open peer review initiatives that increase transparency while maintaining rigorous standards.

Traditional Models

  • Single-blind review
  • Double-blind review
  • Triple-blind review

Modern Innovations

  • AI-assisted screening
  • Open peer review
  • Collaborative review platforms

The fundamental purpose of peer review remains unchanged: to validate research methodology, ensure factual accuracy, assess novelty, and provide constructive feedback that improves the final publication. This quality control mechanism is why publications in peer-reviewed journals carry significant academic weight.
