The easiest way to find a peer-reviewed article is by searching in the library's OneSearch box  right on the library homepage. Once you have retrieved a list of results you can limit to Peer Reviewed articles on left side of screen. You should also see whether your article is Peer Reviewed under the short quote from the article that will be included in the results list.

You can also search these databases listed in the Articles & Databases index:

  • JSTOR Archival Journals and primary sources
    An archival collection of  over 2000 peer reviewed academic journals in the social sciences, sciences, math, and humanities.
     
  • Academic Search Complete
    This scholarly collection of more than 8,200 publications offers information in nearly every area of academic study, many in full text. Updated daily.            

            In the research databases, there is a Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals limiter that you can
            select to limit your results to peer-reviewed articles only. Scroll down from the search box to limit your
            results. Watch this brief video on  finding peer-reviewed articles
