Question

1. dr. frank just completed a year - long research study and is preparing to publish it in a professional journal. before completing this work, dr. frank has a colleague who was not involved in the original study read through it. what process is dr. frank most likely completing?

formalization
peer review
communication
international collaboration

Explanation:

Peer review is a process where experts (peers) in the same field evaluate a research study before it is published. In this case, Dr. Frank's colleague (a peer, likely in the same academic or professional domain given they are reading a research study for publication) is reviewing the work. Formalization is more about structuring or making something formal in a general sense (not specific to research publication evaluation). Communication is a broad term (the act of sharing information) and doesn't capture the specific evaluation aspect here. International collaboration implies working together across countries on a project, which isn't indicated in the scenario.

Answer:

peer review
