No.  Our library databases also include articles from newspapers and magazines, which are not peer-reviewed.  Trade journals are also in our databases and many of these articles do not go through the peer-review process either.

Fortunately, you can limit your search results to peer-reviewed journals.  (warning: Sometimes, a few articles might slip through that haven't been peer-reviewed, such as letters to the editor.)

Refine your search in One Search to "Peer-reviewed Journals."

Most of our article databases, such as those from EBSCO and Gale, also provide the option of limiting to peer-reviewed journals.

       

 

Still not sure if your article is peer-reviewed?  Ask a Librarian!
