We learned about this briefly in the Scholarly vs. Popular session. I mentioned this today in class in case you're not sure whether the journals articles you found were from scholarly journals (that is, peer-reviewed journals). You can use the reference book called Ulrich's Periodical Directory (2009) in the Reference Collection (call number REF Z6941 .U51 2009). The last volume (vol 4) has a title index, which is easy to use. Those journals that are peer-reviewed have graduation cap icons next to them.
Hope this will help you determine whether your source is scholarly.
As I mentioned in the class, find the journal's official web site will also help. It will list information about the journal for example if it's peer-reviewed, its peer-review committee, chief editor, etc.
