A quick definition of peer review:

Peer review is when a group of people who do the same job or have the same interest look at someone's work to make sure it's good. This is mostly used to keep the quality of work high. For example, doctors might look at each other's work to make sure they're taking good care of their patients. In school, before someone's work is published, other students or teachers will look at it to decide if it's good enough to be shared with others.

A more thorough explanation:

Peer review is when a group of people who work in the same profession or field evaluate someone's work. This is done to make sure that the work is of good quality and meets certain standards.

  • In the medical field, peer review is used to ensure that patients receive high-quality care. Medical professionals review each other's work to identify areas for improvement and reduce the risk of medical errors.
  • In academia, before a research paper or idea is published in a journal or presented at a conference, it is reviewed by peers. This helps to ensure that the work is accurate, well-researched, and meets the standards of the field.

These examples illustrate how peer review is used to maintain quality and improve performance in different fields. By having peers review each other's work, professionals can identify areas for improvement and ensure that they are providing the best possible service to their patients or contributing to the advancement of their field.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
