Finding peer-reviewed articles in article databases

Most databases allow you to limit the search to peer-reviewed journals.

Just select "peer review" before conducting the search. For example in EBSCO databases:

You should always double-check whether an article is peer-reviewed by considering its characteristics, especially:

• the authors' identity (academic or not)
• the presence of a significant bibliography
• the language and audience targeted
  

In some databases, users may need to conduct a search first and then are given the option of limiting to peer-reviewed journals on the results page.
