Academic resources

Focus on peer-reviewed journal articles

Academic resources

You will find scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals (also called “refereed journals” or “scholarly journals”). It means that all the articles in these journals are written by an expert of the subject and are reviewed by other experts of the studied field. The purpose of the peer-reviewed process is to ensure the articles quality before the publication. To help you to identify if the journal article is a peer-reviewed one, some databases have search options to allow you to limit your searches only to peer-reviewed articles, for example, ABI-Inform or Business Source Premier.
