Finding Articles From Peer-Reviewed Journals

Simply check off the box that says Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals in the left-hand column.

What qualifies as peer reviewed?

Peer Review = the evaluation of scientific, academic, or professional work by others who work in the same field of study or research.

Peer reviewed is defined by EBSCO Publishing as follows:

Blind Peer Reviewed - (or Double Blind Peer Reviewed) - Articles appearing in a journal are sent outside of the journal's publishing or sponsoring organization for review by external reviewer(s), whereby the either author's identity or the reviewers' identity is unknown.

Editorial Board Peer Review - articles appearing in a journal are reviewed by an internal board of editors, not solely by one editor. The author's identity may be known or unknown.

Expert Peer Review - articles appearing in a journal are reviewed by experts (either internal or external to the journal) whose credentials are known and who are experts within the subject matter of the article under review. The author's identity may be known or unknown.
