HCU subscribes to a large number of psychology journals, most of which are available online. The list below is only a sampling of the most important journals. All of the journals listed are among the top 50 psychology journals as ranked by their Journal Citation Reports impact. For a more complete list see the library's Publication Locator.
What Does "Peer
Reviewed" or "Refereed" Mean? Peer Review is a process that journals use to
ensure the articles they publish represent the best scholarship currently
available. When an article is submitted to a peer reviewed journal, the editors
send it out to other scholars in the same field (the author's peers) to get
their opinion on the quality of the scholarship, its relevance to the field,
its appropriateness for the journal, etc.
Publications that don't use peer review (ie. Time,
Newsweek, or Psychology Today) just rely on the judgment of the editors whether
an article is up to snuff or not. That's why you can't count on them for solid,
scientific scholarship.
