Only Want scholarly or peer-reviewed journal articles?

Very often, your instructors will require that you use only scholarly, or peer-reviewed, journals in your research. A scholarly journal differs from popular magazines, such as Time, Newsweek, etc, in that they report original research in a specific field or discipline, are written by and intended for scholars and researchers , cite sources with footnotes and/or bibliographies, are most often printed on plain paper, include tables, figures, charts and have little or no advertising. Some databases include both types of publications - some index only scholarly journals.
