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:

  1. Go to the Library Resources.  
  2. Choose a subject category, depending on the class.
  3. 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.
  4. Off-campus, you will need to log in with Baker's two-step authentication to access the library resources.
  5. Click on Advanced Search.
  6. Enter your search terms in the search box(es).
  7. Check the box next to Peer Reviewed or Scholarly, as well as the box next to Full Text.
  8. 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.

For additional information as to what peer-reviewed information is, see the following ASK US FAQ.
