Definition. Peer review (also known as refereeing) is the process of subjecting an author’s scholarly work and research ideas to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field. Peer review requires a community of experts in a given (and often narrowly defined) field who are qualified and able to perform an impartial review for the Philippine Journal of Agricultural Economics Research. Peer review refers to the process of evaluating submitted manuscripts and funding applications. This normative procedure encourages authors to adhere to their discipline's established standards and discourages the spread of unfounded claims, undesirable interpretations, and personal viewpoints. Peer review increases the likelihood that weaknesses will be identified and addressed with guidance and encouragement. For both grant funding and publication in a scholarly journal, it is usually required that the subject be both novel and substantial.

Type. The journal employs a double-masked review process. The reviewer/s and the author/s do not know each other’s identities.
