  Peer review isn’t typically included in the list of steps to the scientific method. Or, if it is, it’s a coda, not part of the main steps.

  Dictionary.com for example lists the commonly accepted steps, and then follows it up with “usually followed by peer review and publication.”

  Note the “usually.”

  It’s also worth noting that there is no real “formalized” or “official” scientific method. Just some agreed upon commonalities. Any dozen science books will give you a dozen different graphs of the steps, and no two will be the same.
