Many academic or professional journals use a system called 'Peer Review' to ensure the quality of published material, this usually involves the review of article submissions by prominent experts or academics within the same subject area.

If you wish to search for peer reviewed articles you can select the ‘Peer Reviewed Journals' checkbox in the left menu of 'Library Search'  to refine your results to Peer Reviewed items.

You can check if a specific journal is peer reviewed by searching for the journal title in 'Library Search', then click the journal title. You will see an outline of the journal, the peer reviewed status should be shown alongside the journal title, e.g.:

Alternatively, you can also search for Peer Reviewed content using SCOPUS. The SCOPUS platform is solely comprised of peer reviewed publications. You can search SCOPUS from the Library for Online Programmes homepage (see Major databases tab) or E-Resources area.
