What is a Peer-Reviewed journal?
A scholarly journal is peer-reviewed when manuscripts are sent to experts in the related field during the publication process. Sometimes the manuscripts are sent anonymously (blind peer-reviewed). The experts make recommendations to the editor for publication, rejection or revision. These journals are generally thought to be of the highest quality.

Is it Refereed/Peer-Reviewed?
To find out if a journal is peer reviewed, search for the journal in the database Ulrichsweb.
For best results search by ISSN instead of title. Every publication has a unique ISSN number whereas there can be multiple publications with the same title. You can find the ISSN in the journal or article record.
You will see a brief display of information about the journal. If the journal is peer reviewed you will see the referee's jersey symbol.
If you click on the journal title you will find a basic description of the journal including details such as the name of the publisher, and whether the publication is peer reviewed.
