Locating Scholarly Articles
Where can I find a scholarly article?
How do I find out if a journal is peer-reviewed?
The Library OneSearch filter for scholarly and peer-reviewed materials is useful for finding articles. Enter your search terms and click the Search button. Once the search returns your results, click the Peer Reviewed filter at the top of the results list (red box).

You can additionally select the Academic Journals option under the Source Type filter (red box). This will refresh your search results, narrowing them down to only scholarly articles.

Some of the databases you have access to through the University have similar filters.
Most EbscoHost databases have them (examples include CINAHL, Humanities Source, and America: History and Life, among many others). Many Gale databases have a peer review filter included in the advanced search options (examples: Opposing Viewpoints in Context or Something About the Author), and some ProQuest databases have one right under the main search box (ERIC, ProQuest One Business, and PsycINFO are a few of your ProQuest options).
