    Thanks for the explanation, always assumed it hadn’t been peer reviewed because that requires replication of the experiment most often.

      It should, but it does not always require that, at least for some soft sciences. In my very niche field (German grammar and German language instruction) studies are almost never reproduced as part of the peer review process, though it is totally normal for people to publish new papers that are essentially reproductions of existing studies.

      No, the peers do not necessarily have to spend a decade to repeat the study as there is no singular thesis, nor any experiment… They just look it over while playing with their existent or non-existent beards and if its their speciality then give their names that ‘yes, this checks out’
