Journal Look Up Service 

You don't want to accidentally cite or publish in a predatory journal, but it can be challenging to know for sure that a journal is trustworthy. 

Search the journal name in our database of journals. Every journal included in the Ovid NutriHealth database has gone through IFIS's quality checks, so if we index it, you can be confident it is peer-reviewed and not a predatory journal.
