Here are some basic ways to tell if a journal article is peer-reviewed:

1) Limit your search results to peer-reviewed content. Many databases we have provide this option, usually by checking a box. For example, with PrimoVE (the "Search All" tab on the homepage), you can limit your results to peer-reviewed content after doing the search.

2) Look up the journal in Journal Search. Select the "Journal Titles" tab in the library homepage search box [image] and look up the journal. If it's listed, it may have a peer-review icon [image].

3) Check UlrichsWeb to see if the journal that published the article is peer-reviewed. Search for a journal by the name of the journal or its ISSN in Ulrichsweb, and look for the referee jersey logo:   Refereed jersey symbol
