Peer Reviewed Journal Articles
Peer Review is part of the process an article must pass to be published in a quality scholarly journal. After an editor has pre-screened a submitted paper, it is provided to two or three experts in the field(s) pertinent to the article. Double Blind Peer Review is where the identities and affiliations of the authors are withheld from the reviewers and the identities of the reviewers are withheld from the authors. Another name for "peer reviewed" is "refereed."
Peer reviewers are tasked with critically evaluating the paper, from its research question, design, and method to its interpretation and synthesis of results and information. The writing style and quality may also be addressed. As a result of peer review, an article may be accepted, rejected, or returned to the authors with suggestions and guidance on how it, or the underlying research, can be improved to make it suitable for publication.
Peer review is designed to ensure that only quality research is published by a journal and that the journal's reputation is maintained.
In many academic databases and the Library Discovery Search, you can filter, or limit, your search results to peer reviewed articles:
