The journal would -- editors would then take those articles and send them out to professionals in the field who have agreed to serve as reviewers, who have some sort of expertise related to the topic of the particular article. Generally in that process it's known as a blind review -- that is, the reviewers don't know who the author is, to help protect from bias."Source
