I’m only a layman casual, but I have never in my life seen an actual peer review.
I’ve read/skimmed actual papers from primary sources whenever I actually care to try to understand the proof for something. No idea what a peer review looks like, no idea if the paper I read were ever peer reviewed.
I’m guessing maybe the publisher itself also/sometimes does the “we read it, looks fine”-process? Either way, I’ve never seen one. They’re like some mythical creature I’ve only ever heard descriptions of.
Same but some of my friends i went to uni with is a moron who went on to do a PhD…
Its like having your work marked and, if they don’t Iike it, they’ll just say like “not clear enough” or “needs more research” and deny its publication.
I mean, what they meant was “you haven’t addressed Dr Y et. al.'s critique of that particular essay’s attempt at modelling the disease you’re researching” but they’re not just going to come out and tell you that. That would be too easy.
Every now and then I feel like I can hear them muttering some kind of highly expletive death threat at reviewer number 3.
