Peer reviewed

Hi,

I have only just started my learning and doing lots of research for 5CO03

I have come across an article on a site called ResearchGate, i know that this site is not Peer Reviewed, however it does state that some articles are peer reviewed.  How do i know what is Peer Reviewed and that i can use as a reference and what is not.  The article is by Dierdre O'donovan  and is called Inclusion diversity management 2.0  I have found this to be interesting but don't know whether it is peer reviewed.  If something is not peer reviewed and i reference it , is it a fail??? 

Many Thanks

Jeanette

    Research Gate is a network for researchers/academics and not a journal. While some researchers may share their work via the site it is only possible to check whether it has been peer reviewed by looking a the article in the relevant journal.

    The policy on whether a non-peer reviewed reference is acceptable will be set by your learning provider. For example, I supervise PG HR students at a London University and our requirement is for roughly 80% peer reviewed and the balance being from business sources.
