Information Literacy The purpose of the peer review ultimately is to create the best possible article. The most critical step to this process is research. Research is likely to be a funded process through the receipt of grants. Furthermore, research is the basis of any and all arguments or points made through the article. An editor differs from a peer reviewer in a few different ways. A peer reviewer reads the article then provides their critique of said article. This is all done while the author of the article is unbeknownst to the reviewer. An editor is someone whom works alongside the author to help them in whatever way necessary. The primary goal of the editor is to push the author to write the best possible article, but the editor has the final say on publication. My article this week was not peer reviewed. For one, it has been an unusually busy week for me, but also because I trust myself enough to go without. Of course a peer review is a welcomed and useful resource, however, I trust my writing and proofreading to be solid as-is. I guess you could say that I am an editor whom authors. One of the best options to me for peer-reviews is my fellow classmates. Additionally, DeVry University’s library is an excellent resource for information on peer-reviewing. That information can provide insight on what to add, what to remove, as well as many other things. Long story short, the best possible thing to do is research extensively and excessively, write a paper, and have it reviewed by multiple sources so that you can produce the best possible article.
