The peer-review process, also known as refereeing deals with the subjection of the scholarly work of an author, ideas or research to evaluation and scrutiny by some group of experts in the same field, before the paper is then submitted for publication in a journal, as a book, or conference proceedings. This is the same example as stated in the scenario portrayed in the question, and it is a necessary step to get your work published.
