A blog post published on Google by a high school student and reviewed by her friend is included as a citation in a science paper. Is this source considered a peer-reviewed paper? Why or why not? 

A. This is considered a peer-reviewed paper because the variables used were reviewed by other scientists to make sure they were labeled correctly.  B. This isn't considered a peer-reviewed paper because peer-reviewed papers are published only in books.  C. This is considered a peer-reviewed paper because it was reviewed by a student peer.  D. This isn't considered a peer-reviewed paper because it wasn't reviewed by other scientists in the field.​

Answer:

Option D, This isn't considered a peer-reviewed paper because it wasn't reviewed by other scientists in the field.​

Step-by-step explanation:

A paper/research article is said to be peer-reviewed when it is written by a scientist/scholar and reviewed by another expert scientists/peers of the same field before publication.

Here in this case , the blog posted by the high school student was not reviewed by any field/sector expert before publication and thus , this source of paper can not be considered as peer reviewed paper.
