How can I tell if a particular journal is considered peer reviewed or refereed?
- Go to the library database Ulrichsweb
- Search by the title of the journal (not the article title)
- If you see this icon (think referee's jersey) then the title is considered peer reviewed
How can I tell if a particular article is peer reviewed?
Peer reviewed articles may include:
- an abstract
- an introduction
- a literature review
- methods
- results
- discussion
- a conclusion
- references
- figures & tables
NOTE: An article may be considered scholarly, for example a conference proceeding or technical report, but you cannot assume it was peer reviewed. Need help? Talk to a librarian!
