Finding Peer Reviewed Journal Articles

You will find peer reviewed journal articles by searching the Library's databases. Some key databases for this discipline are linked below.

Searching FiNDit is another way to research and allows you to discover all of the Library's print resources and most electronic resources from the one place. FiNDit is on the Library homepage, branded there as "Explore the library".
