Peer-Reviewed Articles
This page will assist you in finding peer-reviewed (primary) scientific studies and articles. These studies and articles have been accepted as major contributions in research by the general scientific community.
Finding Peer-Reviewed Articles
To start your article search, use our CSN Library Find Articles. On the results screen from any database choose the types of material you want. Including availability, "peer-reviewed" articles, publication dates, and subject areas you want to include (each database will look different, but the limiters on the left side of databases remains the same). If you need to find out whether a source is peer-reviewed or not? Use Ulrichsweb to search by journal title name to see if your material has been through a rigorous peer-reviewed process.
