Peer-reviewed research paper

As explained in Effective Data Analysis

Peer-reviewed research is scholarly research whose methods, findings, and conclusions have been evaluated by subject-matter experts before publication.

A peer-reviewed research paper reports scholarly findings evaluated by subject-matter experts before publication. Reviewers assess the methods, arguments, and conclusions for errors and empirical soundness. section 10.3.2

Use peer-reviewed research to strengthen an analysis, guide measurement choices, or replace resource-intensive original analysis when relevant findings already exist. Treat peer review as valuable quality control, not a guarantee of perfection. section 10.3.2

Measuring engineering productivity

An HR analyst reviews organizational psychology research to identify recommended measures for the speed and quality of software engineering deliverables before proposing a capacity plan. section 10.3.2
