Identifying Peer Reviewed Journals
How can you determine if a journal is peer reviewed (also called 'refereed')?
- Go to Ulrichs Web - a Research Database with information about journals and other publications
- Search for the journal title that your article was published in (for example: BMC Medicine)
- Look for this image next to the journal title:
- This image indicates that the journal is 'Refereed,' another term that means 'Peer-Reviewed.'

PUBMED | Most journals in PubMed are peer-reviewed or refereed. Criteria for peer review and the qualifications of peers or referees vary among publishers.We have no list of peer-reviewed/refereed journals in PubMed; and you cannot limit your search to peer-reviewed journals using PubMed. When searching research databases, click on Get It @ ASU! and scroll down to options. You will be able to link out to Ulrichs and search your journal title to confirm whether or not it's peer reviewed.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
