MGMT 351 - Firth: Peer Review

3 minute video on the peer review process, created by the North Carolina State University Libraries: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/tutorials/pr/

Both the Library Catalog (search box on the library homepage) and the library article databases (e.g., Business Source Premier) offer the option to limit your results to only articles from peer-reviewed journals:

Library Catalog: enter keywords, then on the left side of the initial results screen, click on "Peer-reviewed Journals": 

Business Source Premier: do an initial search, then on the left side of the results page, under Limit To, check the Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals box:

Google Scholar:

Do a keyword search, then use Ulrich's (below) or check publisher website to verify if the journal is peer-reviewed. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• The peer-reviewed limiters above aren't always accurate! Sometimes a peer-reviewed journal identified this way is not necessarily peer-reviewed. To be 100% sure if a journal is peer-reviewed, use the Ulrichs database (link below) to double check. You can also google the journal; the publisher's website often indicates if a journal if peer-reviewed or not.
• Even if the journal is peer-reviewed, the article may not be. A journal may have a mix of peer-reviewed articles (usually research/scholarly pieces with abstract, methodology, discussion, etc.) and non peer-reviewed ones (e.g., editorials, book reviews). 
• Ulrichs is NOT a tool to look for peer-reviewed articles. It's simply a directory of publications where you can verify whether a journal is peer-reviewed (Ulrichs calls peer-reviewed "refereed" with the  icon; they mean the same thing). In short, search for articles on a topic using the other tools, then search by JOURNAL TITLE (not article title) in Ulrich's to see if the journal is peer-reviewed/refereed.
