The author of the journal article must submit the article to the journal editor who will then forward the article to experts that exist in the field. These other experts in the field are chosen because they are the "peers" of the author who wrote the article under review.

That study getting journal-published is not the only reason this is happening but it is certainly one of the reasons the problem exist (CNN, 2015).
