Finding Peer Reviewed Articles

A peer reviewed article is reviewed by experts or scholars in the field who judge the article for quality and new contributions of knowledge to the discipline. Not all academic journals are peer reviewed. A journal's website will often note whether or not their articles go through a peer review process.
