 Scholarly research requires sourcing articles that are of a scholarly standard and are peer-reviewed. Peer-reviewed or refereed articles are those that have been checked by experts in a subject before publication. These experts are considered to be an author's peers. A publisher's peer-reviewed policy means that all articles published in that journal are reviewed, so the peer-reviewed policy is applied to a whole journal rather than to individual articles. Murdoch University Library provides access to subscription databases for detailed searching for scholarly content in specific subject areas. Select a database's advanced search to use filters or search limiters such as peer-review. Let's look at these databases as examples. We'll start with Gail Academic One file, a multi-disciplinary database. Search the database using the peer-review search limiter to only look for the search words in peer-reviewed journals. If you forget to check the box on the advanced search page, the search results can be filtered by peer-review. Next we'll look at an EBSCO database. Search the database using the peer-reviewed search limiter to only look for the search words in peer-reviewed articles. If you forget to check the box on the advanced search page, the peer-reviewed limiter can be checked on the search results list to remove those articles not peer-reviewed. The final database to demonstrate is ProQuest, another multi-disciplinary database. Select the advanced search, add the search words, then check the peer-reviewed limiter so that only peer-reviewed articles are searched for the words. Search results can be limited to only peer-reviewed articles if the filter wasn't checked on the advanced search page. Depending on the type of research being conducted, the number of all articles in the results list, then only the number of peer-reviewed articles may need to be recorded, which is one reason why this filter is available on the results page. Murdoch University's library search sources articles from a range of databases. Search results can be filtered or refined to include only peer-reviewed content. Databases with both reviewed and unreviewed articles often have a peer-reviewed search filter. Some databases only hold peer-reviewed or refereed articles so don't have a peer-reviewed search filter. Check the requirements for authors to submit articles to confirm a databases publishing policy. Some databases have reviewed and unreviewed articles but do not have a peer-reviewed filter, so articles need to be checked if they are to be quoted in scholarly research. In these circumstances, use the journal title to check the peer-reviewed policy. Access the Ulrich's web database to search for a journal's peer-reviewed policy. Remember, search for the journal title, not the article title. A black and white striped sport refereed shirt confirms articles in a journal are refereed or peer-reviewed before publication. Misinformation proliferates on the internet and is the reason why students are directed to use scholarly, peer-reviewed sources of information rather than relying on information found on webpages. Search databases using a peer-reviewed filter to limit search results to only peer-reviewed articles or check that an article is from a peer-reviewed journal using Ulrich's web.
