Some preliminary questions
1. What is a peer-reviewed article?
2. How do I know if an article is peer
reviewed?
What is a peer-reviewed
article?
Scholarly/peer-reviewed/refereed papers are reviewed by experts (peers) in very specific fields to ensure that:
The paper is based on original research
Research is performed using proper and rigorous scientific methodology
The paper adds to the body of knowledge.
Peer-reviewed publications are considered to be of the highest quality for academic research.
How do I know an article is peer-
reviewed?(continued)
Therefore:
1. Check to see if the journal in which the article was published uses peer-review.
2. If the journal uses peer-review, see if the article has the characteristics of a peer-reviewed article.
○ Even if a journal uses peer review, it may publish content that is not peer-reviewed.
○ For example, Letters to the Editor are (typically) not peer-reviewed; neither are book reviews.
Does the journal use peer-
review?
Check UlrichswebSearch for the
journal name
(e.g. Nature or
Science)
Look for a referee
jersey next to the
journal’s name
(remember, peer-
reviewed articles
are also called
“refereed” articles)
What are the characteristics of
a peer-reviewed article? If your article was published in a journal that uses peer-review,
you now need to establish whether the article has characteristics typical of a peer-reviewed article.
Characteristics may relate to: The article title
The publication in which the article was published.
Author information
Submission versus publication dates
Article sections○ For example, Abstract, Introduction, Literature Search, Arguments,
Methodology, Results, Conclusions, References
Charts, Graphs, and Equations
The text (e.g. types of nomenclature).
Not every peer-reviewed paper will share every one of these characteristics. However, they should have many of them.

may summarize the
articles contents, and
will usually contain
technical terms that
are specific to the
