Hi Sarah,

My experience in checking for status of peer-review of a journal for  faculty
publications is that EBSCOnet in not comprehensive or accurate.   Stick with
Ulrich and don't waste your time.

Thanks,  Connie!

I got the information from Ulrich's finally.  I was trying  to get it in
a hurry the first time because I had a meeting to go to, but  when I came
back, I had more time to play with the advanced search.   However, it
would be interesting to see if the EBSCO's periodicals  directory has the
same figures.  I thought I could get to their online  periodicals
directory via our EBSCONet login, but I'll look  again.

Do you have access to the online Serials directory by EBSCO? I  believe
it has a peer review listing?
