Peer Review
Peer review is an indicator of research quality. Many, but not all, journals require a peer-review process, so that experts and editors review articles for potential publication. You can use these strategies to help determine if an article (or the journal it is published in) is peer reviewed.
- Search for the journal in our Publication Finder. The record for the journal will indicate if it is peer reviewed.
- Check the "peer-reviewed" search limiter to narrow your results to just peer-reviewed articles. These limiters are available in the library's main search (or discovery) system and many of the library's databases.
The infographic below shows how the peer review process works.
