Article Databases

How to Find Peer-Reviewed Articles

Sometimes your instructor or assignment will require that you find a "scholarly article" or use a "peer-reviewed" journal. In many of our databases, you can  limit your search to scholarly articles by selecting a check-box similar to ones listed below. Look for the following options when you are searching (sometimes they appear on the advanced search page):

  • Peer Reviewed
  • Academic Journals
  • Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals
  • Peer Reviewed Journals
In many database you can filter your search results to those from scholalry/academic/peer-reviewed journals - look for this option on your search results page. That filter option is not in the PubMed database because all search results are from scholalry/academic/peer-reviewed journals
