BWRIT 135: Research Writing (Porter): Articles

Library research guide for BWRIT 135 during spring quarter 2022.

Reading a scholarly article

Is my journal article peer reviewed or refereed?

Search for your journal title (NOT article title) below, in Ulrich's. 

If you see a little referee shirt icon - Refereed icon - or the journal's record indicates it is refereed, it's likely (but not guaranteed) your article has been peer reviewed.

Most articles published in peer reviewed journals are peer reviewed, with a few exceptions. Book reviews, editorials, and letters to the editor are not peer reviewed. 

If you are unsure about whether something you've found is peer reviewed, ask your librarian or professor!
