Selecting Peer Reviewed Sources

You need some reliable, authoritative, and peer-reviewed journal articles for your research paper.

Where do you begin and how can you tell whether or not a journal is peer-reviewed?  How do you distinguish it from a magazine or trade and business publication?

You can begin by watching this.

Next visit the library or use the databases and select peer reviewed as one of your limiters in your search.

It's easy once you know.  Your instructors want you to use peer-reviewed research.  So what is stopping you?

Sit down right now and do a quick search in Academic Search Premier database.  Review your results.  Having problems?  Contact a librarian.
