How do I know if an article is considered peer reviewed?

2798 views   |   56   0   |   Last updated on Jan 16, 2024    peer review

The most thorough way to find if an article is peer reviewed is to visit the journal publisher's website, locate the journal title, and read the section about the journal which will indicate if submissions to that journal go through a peer review process. See the Tutorials research guide for info on specific databases. 

PubMed - Everything is considered peer reviewed.

EBSCOhost - Use the advanced Search or limit your results after running a search to peer review and academic journals.

Google Scholar - Many items are peer reviewed, but there are some which are not. There isn't a way to limit results to just peer reviewed.

I am trying to access an article in Pubmed but it keeps asking me for a password. How do I see the full article?

2172 views   |   41   0   |   Last updated on Jan 16, 2024    full text PubMed

PubMed is an abstract database that indexes thousands of journals. Journal publishers provide links to full text when available. Some of these are free, but most are paid subscriptions. You have access to free articles and those that Logan pays for a subscription. Look for the Logan Full Text icon to check for full text access. More instructions are located in the PubMed tutorial. We can also order items that are not in our collection by interlibrary loan.

You may renew books, journals, or media items in person, or through the library catalog. Bones and models are not renewable and must be returned by the due date/time to avoid fines. To renew in person, please have a valid ID (Logan ID or state issued ID) or know your student number. You do not have to have the materials with you at time of renewal (except you do need to bring in bones and models). To renew online, choose View Your Library Account in the library catalog.

2128 views   |   54   0   |   Last updated on Jan 16, 2024    PubMed peer review

PubMed - Articles in PubMed are considered peer reviewed and there isn't a limiter to use in the database.

EBSCOhost (includes Cochrane, SPORTDiscus, Food Science Source, AMED) - Click on Advanced Search under the search box and select Peer Reviewed.

I'm trying to renew my materials online. Isn't my name and campus ID the same as my Logan email?

2075 views   |   46   0   |   Last updated on Jan 16, 2024    catalog library account renewing checkouts

The Logan catalog is a shared catalog system with other academic libraries and is not the same as a Logan's email or My Logan. When you enter your name, do not put a period between your first and last name. Example: jane doe (do not enter as jane.doe). Your campus ID is your 9 digit student number followed by L. Example: 123456789l
