"Peer review" is an academic evaluation of a research contribution such as a scientific article or a book. Experts within the field ensure the quality of the publication before it is published.

If it is not explicitly stated in an article whether it has undergone peer review, you can investigate whether the journal in which it is published is peer-reviewed.
