Is it Peer-Reviewed?

When we're searching in library sources, we can use filters to help identify peer-reviewed sources. When using Google Scholar and other online tools, sometimes it's not so clear. When you find an interesting article, but can't tell if the journal is peer-reviewed, search for the journal in Ulrich's and check the journals status. If it still isn't clear, check with a professor or a librarian.
