 Recognising
refereed journals
The general information found at the front of each journal
issue or journal website will often tell you if a journal
is refereed or not. The "Information
for Authors" or "Guidelines
for Authors" section of the journal may also indicate
whether articles are refereed.
In addition, there are several databases that provide extensive
journal information. Ulrich's
International Periodicals Directory includes thousands
of journals. You can search by Journal
Title to display the record for a particular journal
and then check if it is refereed, reviewed, or scholarly.

 Some
journals may have the appearance of being refereed because
they are well known and contain up-to-date scientific
information. Scientific American contains up-to-date
scientific information but its articles are not refereed.
To help you distinguish between popular and refereed journals,
you can look at the list prepared by Minnesota
State University Library - Scholarly Journals. |
