Where this comes from

Abstract

The "imprimatur" of peer review signifies that medical journal reviewers and editors have peer reviewed the submitted work of authors and suggested opportunities for authors to make revisions that will improve their submission, allowing publication. Work that meets the editorial standards for publication after revision receives the imprimatur, a proverbial stamp of approval.
