Get Scholarly & Peer Reviewed Journals

You probably won't have to use this option for all of your research projects, but if your instructor requires that you use academic, scholarly or peer reviewed journals, this is the easiest way to get them:

Select Peer Reviewed under the Limit Your Options on the search screen to limit your results to Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals box. All your results will now be from scholarly/peer reviewed journals.
