Q: Are featured articles on society journals peer reviewed?

Thank you for your question! Most featured articles, except for editorials and book reviews, go through the peer review process before publication.

However, in case you mean “feature articles,” the process may vary. Feature articles are typically submitted by invitation and aim to bring the reader up-to-date with research in a particular field, highlighting areas of special excitement and progress. Having said that, most feature articles are not peer reviewed; however, the publication process may vary amongst journals.

While we don’t have too many resources on our site regarding this topic yet, here’s a related question that you may find useful:

If I publish the contents of my conference presentation first as a feature article and then as a journal article, would it be a case of duplicate submission?
