 Introduction
Ulrich's Periodicals Directory provides essential information on nearly a
quarter of a million consumer and trade magazines, academic and scholarly publications,
monographic series, newsletters, newspapers, electronic publications, 'zines,
and many other types of serial publications and services published throughout
the world on all subjects. It includes both current and ceased titles. Entries
include bibliographic information; pricing, subscription, and distribution
details;
key publisher,
editor, rights & permissions
and advertising contact; access options; and more.
Ulrich's also identifies refereed journals (also called peer reviewed journals).
You can check whether a specific periodical is referreed, or search
for refereed journals for a general
discipline. (Note: Refereed or peer reviewed journals are journals
where the quality of the articles is maintained by a review process
by experts prior to publication.)
