How do I use Ulrichsweb.com to find out if an article or journal is academic / scholarly or peer-reviewed / refereed?

  • go to our Ulrichsweb.com page, and click on the title Ulrichsweb.com to connect
  • at Ulrichsweb type the journal's title into the text box and click "Search"
  • find your journal title in the resulting list, and click its title to see the details
  • if your journal is academic/scholarly, the Basic description tab will include a line that says: "Document Type: Journal; Academic/Scholarly"
  • if your journal is peer-reviewed/refereed, the description will include a line that says: "Refereed: Yes". The listing for the journal will also display a little referee's shirt icon.
