The peer review process is a recognised, albeit not uncontroversial, quality assurance procedure in science. The publication first summarises research findings on the procedure before going into more detail on the topic of peer review in vocational education and training research. Finally, the results of a study are presented. This addressed researchers in vocational education and training research from three perspectives: as readers of specialised scientific publications, as authors of specialised publications and as reviewers in the peer review process.
