The best way to find relevant peer-reviewed articles on your research topic is to search directly in one or more of our article databases.

1. Open the Library home page and click on the 'Databases' tab located over the main search box. You can search for a database by name or browse recommended databases by subject.

2. Click on the title of the database you'd like to search in. If you're still unsure of what database to use, considering starting with Academic Search Complete, a broad multi-disciplinary database.

3. Once on the database page, perform a search using your selected keywords for your research topic.

4. Database interfaces can vary, but most offer an option on the search results page to limit your results to just peer-reviewed journals. If you don't see such an option, then look for an option to limit the source type to academic journals only.
