Reusable Content

In most of the Library's databases, you will be able to limit your search to peer-reviewed articles.

You can also search for the title of the journal in a tool called Ulrichsweb, which is available under "U" on the Library databases page. In your search results, a symbol that looks like a black and white referee shirt will indicate that a journal is peer-reviewed (or refereed).

Do you need to find peer-reviewed journal articles?

Peer-reviewed articles may also be referred to as scholarly, academic or refereed articles. These articles generally have the following characteristics:

• written by scholars, researchers for an audience of fellow scholars and researchers
• may contain footnotes or other notes
• list many references
• often contain original research
• are usually lengthy

Before being published, a journal article must first go through a review process to ensure it meets accepted scholarly standards. The article should also contribute significant, original research to the field.
