Peer review doesn't have to be done by a scientist. A peer is a person who has a similar background to the writer. Fellow students are peers, for instance. So, a paper can be read and corrected by a peer -- a peer review.
Peer Review is when editors at a scientific journal ask experts on the field to read papers written by scientists to see if it has merit. If it does it is published.
