Making Sure an Article has been Peer Reviewed

There are a couple of ways to find out of an article is not just scholarly but actually peer reviewed.

The first way is to take a look at its detailed record of the article.  To do that, click on the title of the article while in the results list.

On the next screen, scroll down to Journal Subset.  There, if the article is peer reviewed, it might be listed.

However, even if you do not find that information in the detailed record, that doesn't mean that the article is not peer reviewed. 

There is one other way to see if an article was published in a peer reviewed journal and that's by going to the journal's website.

This journal has it right on their homepage that it is peer reviewed.  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/13652524
Most of them will have it on the About page.
You may need to click on some headings to find an indication it is peer reviewed.
 
In most cases, the journal will simply say it is peer reviewed.  For this journal, the first indication it is peer reviewed is that there is information for the Reviewers.
