Locating scholarly and peer reviewed literature
Selecting databases
Online electronic databases such as Academic Search Premier and Academic OneFile provide access to magazine and journal articles. These two databases cover a broad selection of publications, some scholarly and some for a more popular audience. Both databases allow you to limit your searches to scholarly "peer reviewed" publications.
