Q. How do I find scholarly, peer-reviewed articles?

Use a database based on your subject, or the Articles and More search scope in Eagle Search, the library catalog. Limit your search by "peer-reviewed".

A scholarly article is one that is written by an academic and deals with academic study and research in its field. Most scholarly articles are peer-reviewed (they have been reviewed by a panel of subject experts prior to publication). Many databases allow you to narrow down your results to only peer-reviewed articles. You can also look up journals in Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory to check if they are peer-reviewed.
