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. Use the links below to learn more about what is meant by "peer-reviewed." 

To find peer-reviewed articles through the TCC library:

  • You can search the Discovery Catalog to find peer-reviewed articles from the library's homepageDiscovery 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.
  • Or, from the library's homepage under "Find," click on Articles & Databases.
    •  Select an article database such as Academic Search Premierwhich allows you to restrict the results to include ONLY peer-reviewed or scholarly articles.
    • To restrict your results to only peer-reviewed or scholarly articles, sometimes databases have a checkbox "Scholarly (Peer-reviewed) journals" in the filter options like the Discovery catalog.
    • 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. 

You will be prompted to log into MyTCC before accessing the library databases, if you are not already signed in.
