Identify (Scenario 1)

When you know the name of a journal and want to check if it is peer reviewed or included as part of ERA, you need to find it in a list or database such as:

• ERA 2012 Journal List
• John Lamp's ERA journal rankings
• Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory

  Ulrichsweb advanced search

  • select Advanced Search to find journals on a topic/subject area
  • enter a keyword that describes your area of research and change the drop-down box from Title to Subject
  • choose Active (under Status), then More Limiters and Refereed/Peer Reviewed (under Key Feature:) to narrow your search to currently published peer reviewed journals only
  • select Search

  You will see a list of peer reviewed journals in your subject area. It may be necessary to refine the search if you have too many or too few journals. You can review your search, by entering different keywords or by adding more terms.

• Thomson Reuters Master Journal List (ISI)  
• Publishers’ pages.  If you cannot locate the journal title in a list or database you will need to find the publisher's home page to provide evidence that it is peer reviewed.
