A peer-reviewed journal article is a manuscript that has been approved for publication after it has cleared the process of peer review. Peer-review is a three-step process that includes submission by the author, review by the journal's reviewers who read, study, and provide comments for the author and editor, and publication of the successfully cleared manuscripts. Because the journal's reviewers have expertise in the field and in the manuscript's subject, they are considered peers and the process called peer review. After finishing the peer-reviewing process, a manuscript may be approved or rejected and sometimes an author is encouraged to revise and resubmit. Only approved manuscripts finish the process and become articles in the journal.
The "Suggested Journals for Human Development" on this page have been selected by the human development faculty as particularly appropriate to the field. Many are published by the American Psychological Association or other scholarly societies. The links in the list take researchers through the library's Search It interface to the journal's full text run. If you would rather search for journal articles by subject, you might be more interested in using a search engine like Search It or Google Scholar, or a database like PsycInfo.
If you have questions about a journal's subject or scope, its years of publication, or its editors and editorial boards, try doing a Google search for the journal's website because most have their own pages. There may be other information besides like how to submit a manuscript, the journal's company provider, its rate of acceptance or rejection, and metrics like its impact factors--all written for scholars who are interested in publishing in the journal. If you are looking at the suggested journals list and have further questions, don't hesitate to seek out your class professors or librarians.
First, consider how you found the article:
Did you find it in one of the key databases under the tab "Search for Information" on this site?
Did you limit your search to peer-reviewed publications?
Have you Googled the journal's title to find more information about it?
Second, consider what you can learn about the author(s) and the writing:
Are the author(s)' workplaces or academic credentials listed?
Do the authors write well?
Is the tone of the article thoughtful, restrained, and serious?
Is the topic of the article narrowly focused and explored in depth?
Is the article written for readers with some prior knowledge of the subject?
Is the article based on either original research or authorities in the field (as opposed to personal opinion)?
Third, consider the structure(s) of the article:
Is there an abstract (summary) at the beginning of the article?
Does the article include footnotes or citations of other sources?
Does the article have a bibliography or list of references at the end?
Could you discover that the article was divided into sections with section headings such as those listed below?
