Library Tutorial Module 1: Asking

Here's an infographic of the Peer Review Process:

1. Researchers identify a question or topic in need of further investigation.

2. Researchers conduct research or experiments, then write about their findings.

3. Researchers submit the article to a peer-reviewed journal or, if it's a book, to an academic press or publisher.

   1. The article or book is peer reviewed, or reviewed by other experts in the same field as the researcher.

   2. Peer-reviewers may suggest or require changes, or they may reject the work entirely.

   3. Researchers make changes based on the reviewers' comments.

4. The article or book is published in print and/or digital formats.

   1. Librarians review, select, and subscribe to books, print journals, and online databases containing these scholarly works to support courses and research at Menlo.

   2. Access is provided through the Library's web site.
