Last Updated: Aug 04, 2023     Views: 219

1. Searching with Peer Review Limiters

     If searching in a database, use the Peer Review limiter (in EBSCO databases):

1) Locate and select the Peer Review limiter check box

2) Enter your terms in the search box

3) Click the Search button to proceed 

The most reliable method for determining the peer review status of a journal is to select the peer review limiter in a database (where available) and perform your searches with it active.

 

 

2. When questioning a specific journal

       1) LIbrary Homepage

2) Journals by Title

3) Type in the Journal Title, then find it in the right hand menu

4) now in the left side menu, click see all

5) this will show a "peer reviewed" notice under the title
