Hi Sarah, My experience in checking for status of peer-review of a journal for faculty publications is that EBSCOnet in not comprehensive or accurate. Stick with Ulrich and don't waste your time.

I was trying to get it in a hurry the first time because I had a meeting to go to, but when I came back, I had more time to play with the advanced search. However, it would be interesting to see if the EBSCO's periodicals directory has the same figures. I thought I could get to their online periodicals directory via our EBSCONet login, but I'll look again.
