Peer review, or editorial peer review, is the process by which outside experts assess academic manuscripts and grant applications. Taxonomies can be integrated into the peer review process, as well as other aspects of the scholarly publishing workflow.
Strong, transparent peer review processes usually results in a more trustworthy final product. That benefits both scientific enterprises and academia, and therefore society.
