Peer-Review: Finding Articles

Choose a Relevant Database

1. Begin by selecting a database from the library databases.

2. You can search databases by title, in the top right corner next to the search bar, or subject.

Begin Your Search

Some databases will let you limit to peer review before you start a search. Check for a Peer reviewed checkbox and then enter your keywords and click Search.

In other databases, you'll need to first enter some keywords for your topic and then click Search. You'll then have an option to filter the results to show only peer reviewed sources on the next screen.

Limit Results to Peer Review

1. Most databases have a Refine Results section, often on the left side of the results page.

2. Look for a checkbox for Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals or Peer Reviewed.

3. Your search should automatically update.
