How can I tell if my article is peer-reviewed?

If you have located the article in EBSCO or ProQuest databases, and are viewing the articles information page, you can click on the linked title of the journal to find out more information about the journal, as can be seen in the image below.

This will take you to a publication details page of information on the journal, including whether or not it is peer reviewed. Look for it at the bottom, as highlighted in the picture below.

Visit the journal website and read the description of the journal. Most publishers have a website for a journal that tells you about the journal, how authors can submit an article, and what the process is for getting published.
 

For information about how to limit your search to peer-reviewed articles see the FAQ: How can I find peer-reviewed or scholarly journal articles?

For more help, ask a librarian.
