Peer-review is important because it is allowing someone to review your work and see what errors you have according to him/her. From the article Meet Science: What is "Peer Review"?, I think they said how the "peers" in this process are not always experts. It usually depends on how much that person knows. If you get a person to peer review your research paper and he/she knows alot about whatever you are researching, then the peer reviewing would be significant because you will have somewhat of a legitimate help. You can tell if an article is scholarly if you do not see any errors and if it looks presentable. For example, if the article does not have lots of pictures or advertisements. The appearance of the article plays a big part. If the article is pretty lengthy, has factual information, and is not biased, then it is most likely scholarly. You want to use peer reviewed research in your work whenever you are trying to present the information to your audience. I think having peer reviewing everywhere on your research paper is important. I engage in informal peer review when asking questions about certain things. Whether it is my teacher, classmate or friend.
