- The professor wants an article that has gone through a strict editing process. When an article has been submitted for publication in a scholarly or peer-reviewed journal, it is sent to one or more persons who are knowledgeable in the subject area that has been written about. This is supposed to ensure a higher degree of accuracy in the article content.
