Q. What is an academic article? Where do I find them?

Academic (or scholarly) articles are articles that have been peer-reviewed by experts in the field before they are published. Journals can be accessed by searching the following:

•  Databases
• Search Box
•  Journals
• .Research guides.

Search for the journal title in UlrichsWeb to determine whether or not it is peer-reviewed. An icon that looks like a striped referee’s jersey, indicates that the journal is peer-reviewed (or refereed).
 

Databases often include the option of limiting search results to scholarly or peer-reviewed.

For help with starting your research, input How do I get started with my research? in the search box above.
