To find articles from peer reviewed, scholarly journals, you will need to search one of the article databases. Try a database from our How to Get Started guide, or the A-Z Databases list.

Most databases will let you limit your search to retrieve only scholarly sources.  You can do that from the search results screen, or choose that limit before you search.

Look for a check box labeled Scholarly or Peer Reviewed.

For example in OneSearch click the Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) button under the search box.

Search results screen with an arrow pointing to a button labeled 'Scholary (Peer Reviewed) Sources'.

 

Or...

Click the All filters button, and when the sidebar appears, check the option for Scholarly (Peer Reviewed).

Screen with a sidebar showing search limit options with a check next to Scholarly (Peer Reviewed).
