1. Use Multisearch.
Enter the search, and then use the clouds on the left to select for Peer-reviewed Journals and for full-text journal articles.
2. Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory remains a suitable source but doesn't list all the journals.
To use Ulrich's, go to the Database page, and use the Browse Databases by Name.
Select U and then Ulrich's.Cut and Paste the journal title or ISSN (of the journal article to be checked) into the search bar, and select the correct title when the search is done (may be multiple journals with the same title).
Open the full journal title and check for the entry: Refereed.
Yes means the journal is peer-reviewed.
But also check the Start Year to be sure the year of publication is within the year range that is peer-reviewed.
3. Here is a great website to suggest to students who ask about finding Peer Reviewed Journals.
It has been put together by California Poly Library Services. http://lib.calpoly.edu/research/guides/peer.html
It describes what a peer reviewed journal article is and gives a list of some of the databases that flag peer reviewed journals.
Many of the examples are databases that we subscribe to.
