Is it true that Open Access articles and journals are not peer-reviewed?
No. A journal”s economic or access policy does not determine its peer review policy. Most scholarly journals, whether open access or controlled-access journals, are peer-reviewed. There are both open and controlled journals that are not peer-reviewed. Most major publishers now have an open access option for individual articles. This does not change the submission, peer review, or editorial process for those journals or articles.
