UlrichsWeb

What is UlrichsWeb?

UlrichsWeb is a peer review checker for research articles.

Why is UlrichsWeb worth using?

For any student who has assignments that require peer-reviewed articles, this website is for you!

Simon swears by this website because it has saved him countless hours and the stress of uncertainty when writing papers.

He says, "Some papers, they're hard to tell if they've been peer reviewed. It's especially annoying when the publisher or journal isn't listed anywhere on it! 'Slows me down so much."

We not only have gone through this ourselves but also see it ALL THE TIME with students in the library.

If you want to be sure that an article is peer-reviewed, use UlrichWeb. It's free, and you can easily log in with your student credentials.

How to interpret results:

1) If an article is peer-reviewed, there will be a little "referee shirt" next to it.

2) Sometimes UlrichsWeb will let you know that the journal the article is published under is peer-reviewed. This gives you the green light because it means every article published in that journal or on that website is peer reviewed.

This site is a lifesaver when it comes to eliminating stress around writing papers, and that's why it has earned the UofTearless Verification badge!
