Which term describes credible research evaluated by experts?

• A. Peer-Reviewed Information
• B. Curriculum Alignment
• C. E-book Platforms
• D. Assistive Technologies

Answer: (A)

Peer-reviewed information is credible research that has been evaluated by experts in the field before publication. In this process, other researchers scrutinize the study’s design, methods, data analysis, and conclusions to check for rigor, transparency, and potential biases. This external validation helps ensure the findings are sound and that the work can be replicated or built upon. Because of this quality control, librarians, teachers, and students can trust peer-reviewed sources to support learning and research. The other terms refer to different ideas: curriculum alignment is about matching materials to standards or learning goals; e-book platforms are digitally accessing books and resources; assistive technologies are tools that help people with disabilities engage with information. Each serves an important purpose, but they do not describe a research piece that has been evaluated by experts.
