have articles in peer reviewed journals already been reviewed or are they publicized first so that they will be reviewed by their peers.

if it’s the latter, where do you look for the appropriate response from their peers? If the former, how do professionals get access to pre-published works to critique them?

Peer review is a process where the article is critiqued before publication.

Journal editors will usually reach out to people to have them review papers in the relevant fields, or sometimes if it’s a more niche field they can ask the authors to provide the names of independent reviewers to look over the paper.

The basic process is the authors submit the manuscript -> the editor checks for basic formatting errors and sends it back for correction if errors are present -> the editor sends it to the reviewers -> the reviewers provide the editor with comments as well as a recommendation of accept/accept with revisions/reject -> the authors submit a revised version (if not outright rejected) -> publication. This can be a months long process from submission to publication.
