Peer review typically involves external experts in the same field as the research being reviewed. They provide critical evaluation of the methodology and findings to ensure the research is sound and contributes to advancing knowledge in the field. Key informants, policy makers, and managers may provide feedback on the research but they are not typically involved in the formal peer review process.
