Question

A chemistry journal requires that all new research papers be peer reviewed by other scientists before they are published. This allows which of the following?

The reviewers can determine the experiment’s feasibility.
The reviewers can determine the experiment’s validity.
The reviewers can include their own findings with the research.
The reviewers can determine if they will help fund the research.

Answer 1

The reviewers can determine the experiment’s validity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Peer reviewing of journals involves the act of subjecting scientific article/journal to scrutiny and contributions by several professionals in the same field as the subject of research of the article/journal before publication.

The reviewers subject the journal to scrutiny in order to determine the validity of the experiment, ensures that the research falls within the scope of the journal, and improve the quality of the journal article.

Answer 2

The correct answer in the question above is the second statement. The reviewers can determine the experiment’s validity. That is why a chemistry journal requires that all new research papers be peer reviewed by other scientists before they are published.
