What is peer review?
Peer review is a formal process whereby articles "are submitted for scrutiny and appraisal by recognized academics or authorities in the appropriate field, who may recommend that the paper be accepted as it stands, or that specific revisions be made, or that the paper be rejected for publication. This process of refereeing is known as peer review".
Why are peer reviewed journal articles important?
Peer reviewed articles are authoritative because they have been assessed prior to publication by specialists or experts within academic and/or industry fields.
How do you search for peer reviewed articles?
The most effective way to search for peer reviewed articles is to use a journal database which focuses on refereed journals. Finding peer reviewed journal articles identifies some of these databases, and includes some strategies for limiting your searches to peer reviewed articles.
How do you check if a journal contains peer reviewed articles?
If you're not sure whether a particular journal contains peer reviewed articles, there are options for checking both print journals and online journals for this information. Identifying refereed journals provides more details.
