Campus Library FAQ: How do I limit searches to online, peer-reviewed journal articles?

Finding online, peer-reviewed journal articles

Find articles in the UW Libraries collection in three steps. 


Before beginning your search, remember to login to your UW Libraries account. You can login from the Campus Library homepage by clicking the Quick Links box in the upper right corner and selecting Your Library Account. Then enter your UW NetID and password.
 

1. Type your title or keywords into UW Libraries Search.

2. Refine your results by selecting the checkbox for three limiters: Available Online, Peer-reviewed Journals (under Availability), and Articles (under Resource Type). Then, select Apply Filters.

Tip: After you get your search results, click the Remember all filters link. Then if you type in new search words and click on Search, your new results will still be limited to peer-reviewed, available online articles.

3. Select the title of the journal article you want. On the resulting screen, scroll down to "View Online" and select one of the databases listed to access the article.
