What gets peer reviewed?

Peer review is required for any educational material that is

• contain the author’s original expression of the information
• contain sufficient content to convey extension-related information, techniques or concepts
• be available and useful to clientele over a period of time
• be intended for statewide or national use, although some regional materials may be acceptable.

• primary reports of research results
• one-time or limited-use materials such as newsletters, meeting handouts, short course materials, and public relations materials
• stand-alone cost studies
