Consider these sentences. Scenario A: Carmen reads an article in Tasty Food magazine stating that eating an apple can help you feel awake and alert. Scenario B: Yuki reads an article in the Professional Journal of Medicine stating that ginger root can help prevent some types of cancer. Which article is more likely to have been peer reviewed? How do you know?

Scenario B is more likely to have been peer-reviewed because it was published in a scholarly journal (Professional Journal of Medicine).

Explanation:

A peer-reviewed article is an article that has undergone review by experts in the same field as the author in order to ascertain how original and quality-oriented the article is before publication in a journal. The experts from the same research field as an author are the "PEERS". A successful peer-reviewed article is deemed to be of high quality.

Although there are many features an article must possess in order to know it has been peer-reviewed but one of the most important features is that the article will be published in a REPUTABLE SCHOLARLY JOURNAL. This is the case of the article in scenario B, which was published in the Professional Journal of Medicine not just any non-academic random magazine as in scenario A.
