If the peers approve the article, it is published in the journal. If the peer has asked for modification, these comments are sent to the author to modify the article. The author modifies the article and resubmits it for publication. The publisher publishes the modified article in the journal. The journal in which all the articles are published after getting them reviewed by the peers is known as Peer Review Journal. Scholarly Publications: A Guide to the Differences Between Publications Students often ask, "How can I tell if this is a scholarly publication?"
