Q. How do I determine if an article I found is a scholarly, peer-reviewed source?

If you are looking for scholarly resources, go to A-Z Databases: Academic & Scholarly. 

Gale Academic OneFile, JSTOR and ProQuest Central are good databases to use for scholarly sources. Login with your COM account for off campus access.

• In Academic OneFile, all of the results from your search will by default be considered scholarly sources. 
• With JSTOR, once you do a search, use the filters to select Journals under Academic Content - your results should now all be scholarly journal content. 
• With ProQuest Central, you will see a check box under your search box that says Peer Reviewed.  Check that box and do your search.  Your results will be limited to scholarly (peer reviewed) sources.
