Making the peer reviewed icon more accurate
Articles and journals are marked with the peer reviewed icon in Primo based on information extracted from Ulrichsweb (https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Ulrich%27s/Product_Documentation/Searching/Ulrichsweb%3A_Peer-Reviewed_Refereed_Journals_and_Academic_Scholarly_Journals).
The Peer Review indicator can only be set at the journal level at the moment. If a journal is identified as peer reviewed, or refereed in Ulrichsweb, all articles from this journal will be shown with the peer reviewed icon in Primo.
However, not all articles in such journals are peer reviewed, meaning the icon sends the wrong information to user, and that this label is not reliable. It can further cause users to lose confidence in the system.…794 votesThanks for the examples - we will review them and discuss our options.

Add DigiZeitschriften to PCI / CDI
We would like to see the journal platform DigiZeitschriften added to PCI / CDI.
For more information, see: https://www.digizeitschriften.de/en/
In Alma there are already 3 Electronic Collections:
- DigiZeitschriften Open Access
- DigiZeitschriften Subscription
- DigiZeitschriften JournalsPlease keep this subdivision in PCI / CDI.
Since this source contains many old journals without ISSN, it would probably be better if the links to the full text came directly from DigiZeitschriften (Primo Link section) to avoid problems with the link resolver (Alma ViewIt).
Thanks in advance!
