The best place to find peer-reviewed articles is in one of the Library’s databases.
OneSearch is a tool that lets you search many of our resources at once. It's generally a helpful place to start. If you're using a different database, a librarian can help you filter your results to focus on peer-reviewed articles.
How do I find a peer-reviewed article in OneSearch?
After doing a search in OneSearch (see more information) you’ll see a list of results. Some of these will be peer-reviewed articles, and some will not.
Select the Peer Reviewed filter in the Limit To section on the left-hand side of the search screen.
This will show you sources from Peer-Reviewed or Academic Journals.
Peer-reviewed articles will have an icon labelled “Academic Journal”.
Important: sometimes things like book reviews, opinion pieces, and letters to the editors will have the “Academic Journal” icon as well. If you are required to use "peer-reviewed journal articles" or "peer-reviewed articles," these may not satisfy that requirement. If you’re not sure whether you can use a particular article for your assignment, ask a librarian or your instructor.
