Peer review is the process in which experts in the same field review and provide feedback on a research article before it is published. The expert in this scenario is reviewing the methods section of the article, which is a common aspect of peer review. Panel review refers to a group of experts reviewing a research proposal or grant application. Critical review and scientific review are more general terms and do not necessarily refer specifically to the process of reviewing a research article.
