Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to locate a peer-reviewed article?
Answer
Here are step-by-step instructions for finding a peer-reviewed article:
- Go to the Library Resources.
- Choose a subject category, depending on the class.
- Choose a database.
Note: Look for EBSCO or ProQuest in the name of the database--They have an option to limit your search to scholarly/peer-reviewed articles. - Off-campus, you will need to log in with Baker's two-step authentication to access the library resources.
- Click on Advanced Search.
- Enter your search terms in the search box(es).
- Check the box next to Peer Reviewed or Scholarly, as well as the box next to Full Text.
- All the articles you find this way will be considered scholarly.
IMPORTANT: Stay away from Editorials, Letters to the Editor, Book Reviews, and similar items. THESE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE SOURCES FOR A RESEARCH PAPER, EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM A SCHOLARLY JOURNAL.
