Results
After you submit your manuscript, your work is sent to experts (peer reviewers) in your field of study in order to gain their insight and suggestions. Reviewers will evaluate the originality and thoroughness of your work, and whether it is a good fit for the journal you have submitted to. There are many forms of peer review, from traditional models like single-anonymized and double-anonymized review to newer models, such as open and transferable review.
The length of the peer review process varies by journal, so check with the editors or the staff of the journal to which you are submitting to for details of the process for that particular journal.
