Peer-reviewed articles (sometimes called scholarly articles) are found in peer-reviewed journals. We have both print and online journals. The online journals are in our databases. See this FAQ for more info about what is meant by "peer-reviewed."
To find peer-reviewed articles through the TCC library on this topic:
- You can search the Discovery Catalog to find peer-reviewed articles from the library's homepage. Discovery searches a lot of our databases all at once. After doing a search, you can limit to "Peer Reviewed" on the left hand side. Learn more about searching the catalog here.
- Example search
- How to find case studies:
- Example search you can refine
- Recommendation: Use an advanced search, limiting to "case study" in the title option while using other keywords
- Example search you can refine
- Or, from the library's homepage under "Find," click on Articles & Databases.
- You can limit by subject, such as to psychology-related databases.
- Select an article database such as Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection - Ebscohost, which allows you to restrict the results to include ONLY peer-reviewed or scholarly articles.
- Recommendation: In a search, use one of the search bars for the search "case study" (can remove or keep the quotation marks).

- Keep in mind that if you have not picked your topic yet, you might want to brainstorm in a reference database first before searching Discovery.
