Find Out More About the Journal
Ask a Librarian to search for the journal title in UlrichsWeb Online. If this peer-reviewed icon is next to the journal title 
then the journal is peer-reviewed. You can also search for the journal website, then look for an editorial policy page that will tell you if the journal is peer-reviewed. You can usually find this information in the About section of the website.
