Peer-Reviewed Journals
Libraries subscribe to various types of periodicals, such as scholarly (some of which may be “peer-reviewed”, “blind peer-reviewed”, “editorial review”) popular, or trade publications. A journal is peer-reviewed when manuscripts are sent to experts, sometimes anonymously (“blind peer-reviewed”), in the related field. They make recommendations to editor for publication, rejection, or revision. These journals are generally thought to be of the highest quality. To find out if a journal is considered “refereed”, “peer-reviewed”, check the Ulrich’s database by doing a search for the title of the journal.
