How can I tell if a source is reviewed or edited?
Answer
There are several ways you can tell if a source like a journal article is reviewed or edited.
- When doing a library search, some articles will have a special icon indicating that they are peer-reviewed.
- Google the title of the journal to find their website. Find the About section on the website to see if the journal is peer-reviewed or not.
- Look for a news website's "About Us" page to learn about their editorial or review policies (if any).
- Look for roles or positions like "editor in chief" or "review board" mentioned on the website.
