Ulrichsweb: Identify Peer Reviewed Journals

Already found an article in a journal and wondering if the journal is peer reviewed/refereed?

Search for the title or ISSN in Ulrichsweb, a database that identifies which journals are peer reviewed/refereed.

The title will have this icon, ,that looks like a referee's jersey next to it if the journal is peer reviewed/refereed.

Serials Directory

Serials Directory is another way to see if a journal is peer reviewed. Search by journal title or ISSN. 

If a journal is peer reviewed, you'll see in the journal record Peer Reviewed: Yes.

If the journal is not peer reviewed, you will not see in the journal record Peer Reviewed: Yes. It will be missing from the record.
