EBSCO used to have a definition of "scholarly journals" that was broader than what we would normally call "peer reviewed" and basically said that they counted it as scholarly if the publisher said so. I don't know if they've changed that policy in recent years with the advent of predatory publishing. I do know that when I mistakenly asked them to add what I thought was a legitimate publisher to their indexing for EDS, they informed me that that publisher did not meet their standards and referred me to Beall's list. I was very encouraged by that.

EBSCOhost databases will tell you.  If the journal is indexed in an EBSCO database, go to an item record in your results list and click on the title of the journal.  Information about the journal will appear. Or click on the Publications option at the top of the database search screen.  Search for your journal. Click on the title to see information about the journal. I don't know how accurate it is.

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!
