What does a peer-reviewed article look like?

Don't trust technology to identify peer-reviewed journals for you. This video does an excellent job explaining what you need to look for to judge for yourselves.

Is the journal peer-reviewed?

You may still want to double-check that the journal requires peer-review of its submissions.  There are two ways of doing this:

1. Search for the journal title in UlrichsWeb to determine whether or not it is peer-reviewed. An icon that looks like a striped referee’s jersey, indicates that the journal is peer-reviewed (or refereed).
2. Search the journal title in Google. The journal website should indicate whether submissions are sent out for peer-review (look for something like 'instructions for authors' or 'submission information')

HOWEVER, a journal might publish some content that is peer-reviewed, and other content that is not.  So you still need to use your knowledge about the attributes of a peer-reviewed article.
