How to Find Out More about a Magazine, Journal, or Newspaper

Ulrich's International Periodicals is a great way to learn more about a magazine, journal, or newspaper:

Each entry can tell you whether the title is scholarly and/or peer-reviewed.

Peer-reviewed (or refereed) titles have a symbol shaped like a referee's shirt next to them.

Some entries have reviews, which can sometimes tell you a publication's political slant.
