<strong>PSY</strong> <strong>425</strong> Week 5 Individual Article Review<br />
Peer-reviewed articles appears in an academic journal or periodical in which<br />
scholarship relating to a particular discipline is published. Scholars within the field<br />
have reviewed these articles prior to publication, thus the name, Peer-Reviewed.<br />
Academic journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for<br />
scrutiny of new research, and the critique of existing research. Content typically<br />
takes the form of articles presenting original research, as well as comments or<br />
reviews of previous articles/research, and book reviews. Academic or professional<br />
publications that are not peer-reviewed are usually referred to as professional<br />
magazines.<br />
Peer-reviewed journals and articles can be located through the University library<br />
and Google Scholar. When trying to determine if your reference is an article,<br />
remember that all journal articles will have an author and a publication date. If you<br />
are unable to locate an author or publication date, then chances are very good that<br />
you are looking at a website that is being maintained by a certain individual or<br />
organization and not a peer-reviewed article.<br />
