How do I find scholarly, peer reviewed journal articles?

What is a peer-reviewed article?

Journals typically have other experts in the field review articles before publication. In a blind peer review, reviewers know the author's name.  In a double-blind peer review, neither the author(s) nor the reviewers know the identities of the others. To find the level of peer review of a particular journal, you usually need to look at the editorial statement of that journal. 

How can I find peer-reviewed articles?

Peer-reviewed articles can be called peer-reviewed or scholarly articles in the library databases. You can select the Scholarly or Peer-Reviewed filter in most databases to ensure your research meets this requirement.

You may determine whether or not a journal is peer-reviewed/refereed using the library's UlrichsWeb database.
