How do I search for peer reviewed articles?

Answer

  1. Use the Articles & Databases link on the library homepage to find an article database for your topic.

  2. Not sure which database to use? You can start with a general database (such as ProQuest One Academic) that covers lots of topics, or scroll down to find a database specific to your discipline or field of study listed in the Databases by Subject section of the Articles & Databases page.
  3. Once you're in the database, use keywords in the search box rather than typing in an entire question.
  4. Many databases will let you filter results to show only peer reviewed articles.

Finding peer reviewed articles on your topic can be tricky! Librarians are happy to help online or in person.
