Peer Review Process

Scholarly vs. Peer Review

How are they similar?

All are written by experts in their field
All contain a Bibliography, a list of References or a Works Cited
Often have the word journal in the title of the publication

Only peer-reviewed articles are evaluated by other experts (peers/referees) before publication (see diagram to the left)

Evidence-based research is written in the scientific method (Method/Design, Data, Results,Conclusion, References)

Ulrich's Periodical Directory (volume 4) at the Reference Desk will indicate peer-reviewed with a black arrow

Which ones contain evidence-based research articles?

Peer-reviewed journals contain EBR articles
EBR will have been conducted by the author(s)
