Peer review and feedback are integral components of the research process, fostering collaborative learning and improvement. When students engage in peer review, they evaluate each other's work based on criteria such as clarity, argument strength, and evidence support. Constructive feedback allows authors to identify strengths and weaknesses in their work, promoting deeper understanding and refinement of ideas. Embracing feedback not only enhances the quality of the research paper but also prepares students for real-world academic and professional critiques.
