Notes:
- Ulrich's uses the word Refereed.
- Refereed is the same as peer-reviewed.
- When a journal is peer-reviewed, it means that most of the articles published in it are peer-reviewed. Other content, such as editorials, letter to the editor, and responses to previously published articles, are not peer-reviewed.
