Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find articles that are peer-reviewed?

To find peer-reviewed articles for your research:

  • Search library resources. You will see options on the left side to limit your results to show only peer-reviewed articles. 
  • Look in a journal which is peer-reviewed. Articles published in a peer-reviewed journal will be peer-reviewed. Be careful, though, as letters and other editorial content are not considered peer-reviewed, even when published in a peer-reviewed journal. 
  • Most research databases have filter options. Find Research Databases relevant to your subject area
  • Ask us  – we can help you determine if an article is peer-reviewed, or help you find peer-reviewed articles on your topic.
