What are scholarly/peer reviewed articles?

- Author is an expert in the subject
- Content is evaluated by other experts before publication
- All information sources are cited
Some databases have all scholarly material. Others have an option to search for only scholarly/peer-reviewed articles.
Need help with searching?
- Identify keywordsSearching for English phrases in a database doesn't work. You have to boil your topic or question down into keywords that represent its basic concepts.
- Combine keywordsEntering your keywords by themselves is less effective than combining them with Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT, etc.) Here's how to do it.
- Citing basicsA collection of web sites that will help you cite your sources (aka document your sources, make footnotes and bibliography.)
