What are peer-reviewed sources?

Peer-reviewed sources are original research projects that scientists and researchers share and publish. These sources go through an extensive -- and often long -- evaluation process by:

  1. Fellow subject matter experts; and
  2. Journal editors

before they are published. You can access peer-reviewed sources through academic databases like EBSCOhost, JSTOR, and ProQuest. Google Scholar is another place to find peer-reviewed sources

Peer-reviewed sources include, but are not limited to:

  • Academic (scholarly) journal articles
  • eBooks
  • Book chapters
