What is a peer reviewed or scholarly article?
A scholarly or peer reviewed article has gone through the editorial process. The editorial process consists of a panel of experts (usually 3) reading through the article and concluding research was been done correctly and the information is accurate. Scholarly articles usually are longer than 5 pages, have no advertisements, and have bibliographies at the end. To find out if a journal is peer reviewed you can check their website for information about the editorial process or check a reference book such as Ulrich’s Periodical Directory near the reference desk.
