Hi, Leah.

We don't subscribe to UlrichsWeb, but we do use Summon as our discovery tool. It now has a search facet to limit to peer reviewed journals. In our EJ Portal, Proquest also has information on which titles are peer reviewed. They have told us this information is limited to what information the publisher provides. We used to subscribe to Serials Directory, but the information was not complete for many titles. I also tell our students to use limits in database searches for peer reviewed journals.

If you do find out about a free source, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Subject: [SERIALST] Sources of peer-reviewed journal information

Hello collective wisdom:

Does anyone know of an easy, one-stop place for students to find out whether a journal title is peer-reviewed other than UlrichsWeb? Although they aren’t as comprehensive as UlrichsWeb, I have found a few online listings that could serve as partial substitutes. I’ve also found a couple libraries that don’t appear to subscribe to UlrichsWeb, and I’ve noted the information posted on their websites about how to determine if a journal is peer-reviewed. If your library does not subscribe to UlrichsWeb, what do you tell your students to use as an alternative for finding out what journals are peer-reviewed? Thanks very much!
