Q. How do I know if a journal is peer-reviewed?

Use the online database Serials Directory. Type in the name of the journal and scroll down near the bottom of the record. You will find "Yes" or "No" next to Peer Reviewed.

OR

Go to the journal's/publisher's web page. If it's peer-reviewed, it should say somewhere on the site; look under For Authors (or similar) or About (or similar).

OR

You can look up the journal in Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (at the RIS desk - Z6941 .U5)
