Finding peer reviewed journals
How do you find out if a journal is peer-reviewed or refereed? Here are three possible methods.
Check Ulrich's Periodical Directory this source provides information about whether a specific journal is refereed, as well as the publisher, cost, and frequency of a journal. It does not provide any information about the articles published in a journal. Search for the title of a journal, then look for the icon that designates refereed titles.
- Check the journal's guidelines for article submission. Some journals' guidelines state clearly that the journal uses a peer-review process. In others, the guidelines say to send three or more copies of the manuscript, which is an indication that the peer-review process is used.
- Some indexes allow you to "filter" the results by whether the journal is refereed. The article databases listed in this subject guide do not have this filter. See below for one that does.
