At present, the narrow sense of peer review is widely discussed in China, that is, after the author submits a manuscript, the editor-in-chief of the journal or the contributing editor invites scholars with professional knowledge or attainments to comment on the academic and literary quality of the paper, and puts forward opinions and judgments. The editor-in-chief decides whether it is suitable for publication in this journal according to the evaluation results. General sci-tech journals invite 2-3 reviewers, but there are more. The evaluation results of these reviewers will directly affect the final evaluation made by the editor-in-chief on the evaluated articles. In addition, the generalized peer review is not limited to this, but also includes the evaluation of the dissemination and application effect of the article after publication by a special evaluation group (periodical society), and also includes the discussion of the evaluation opinions in the submission stage, which is especially common in medical scientific journals. In recent years, public review initiated by emerging free journals or self-recommendation review adopted by some paper databases also belong to generalized peer review.
