How do I find peer-reviewed articles and journals?
Use a scholarly database rather than a general database (MEDLINE vs. Newspaper Abstracts). | When available, limit to scholarly/peer-reviewed journals when you search your database. | Check in Ulrichsweb (library database) to see if the journal you want is peer-reviewed. |
For additional, more detailed help, take a look at the Scholarly and Peer Reviewed Journals subject guide.
