  Ulrichsweb: How can I identify whether a journal is peer-reviewed? Search for a magazine or journal by title. If it is identified with a referee shirt, it is a refereed publication, and most articles in the publication will be peer reviewed.

"Refereed journals" are journals that use a peer-review process for vetting articles before accepting them for publication. 

Many journals offer an online archive of past articles. Often, however, more recent editions may be available only to subscribers or only for a fee. Students and faculty of UWW have access to many of these journals and articles both in print and online through our many journal databases. Using the Andersen Library Journals Search, you can find out whether UWW Andersen Library subscribes to additional print or online journals you need.

Below are samples of refereed journals related to health promotion, with full-text available to UWW faculty and students.
