How to Find Journal Articles
When you search for a topic in our databases sometimes the article will be available as full-text.
If the article is not available as full text, you will get a list of citations. These citations usually refer to articles appearing in journals, magazines and newspapers. Note the information in the citation (author, title of article, journal title, volume, date, page numbers).
Then, check our Journal Search to see whether we have the journal either in print for you to request or through an online source.
If we do not subscribe to the journal where your article appears, you can use our Interlibrary Loan Service to request a copy of the article you need.

To verify that a journal is peer-reviewed, search for the journal title in Journal Search and look for the PEER REVIEWED icon under the title:
