Peer Reviewed and Scholarly Articles
What are they? Peer-reviewed articles, also known as scholarly or refereed articles are papers that describe a research study.
Why are peer-reviewed articles useful? They report on original research that have been reviewed by other experts before they are accepted for publication, so you can reasonably be assured that they contain valid information.
How do you find them? Many of the library's databases contain scholarly articles! You'll find more about searching databases below.
Watch: Peer Review in 3 Minutes
Why watch this video?
We are often told that scholarly and peer-reviewed sources are the most credible, but, it's sometimes hard to understand why they are credible and why we should trust these sources more than others. This video takes an in depth approach at explaining the peer review process.
Hot Tip: Check out the Reading Scholarly Articles page for guidance on how to read and understand a scholarly article.
Using Library Databases
What Are Library Databases?
Databases are similar to search engines but primarily search scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers and other sources. Some databases are subject specific while others are multi-disciplinary (searching across multiple fields and content types).
You can view our most popularly used databases on the Library's Home Page , or view a list of all of our databases organized by subject or alphabetically at U-M Library Databases .
Popular Multidisciplinary Databases
Many students use ProQuest , JSTOR , and Google Scholar for their initial search needs. These are multi-disciplinary and not subject-specific, and they can supply a very large number of search results.
Subject-Specific Databases
Some popular subject-specific databases include PsycINFO for psychology and psychiatry related topics and PubMed for health sciences topics.
Why Should You Use Library Databases?
Unlike a Google search, the Library Databases will grant you access to high quality credible sources.
The sources you'll find in library databases include:
- Scholarly journal articles
- Newspaper articles
- Theses & dissertations
- Empirical evidence
Database Filters & Limits Most databases have Filters/Limits. You can use these to narrow down your search to the specific dates, article type, or population that you are researching.
Here is an example of limits in a database, all databases look slightly different but most have these options:
Keywords and Starting a Search
What are Keywords?
- Natural language words that describe your topic
- Allows for a more flexible search - looks for anywhere the words appear in the record
- Can lead to a broader search, but may yield irrelevant results
Keyword searching is how we normally start a search. Pull out important words or phrases from your topic to find your keywords.
Tips for Searching with Keywords:
- Example: "climate change"
- Example: "climate change" AND policy
- Example: comput* will return all words starting with four letters; computing, computer, compute, etc.
- Example: wom?n will find both woman and women.
What are Subject Headings?
- Pre-defined "controlled vocabulary" that describe what an item is about
- Makes for a less flexible search - only the subject fields will be searched
- Targeted search; results are usually more relevant to the topic, but may miss some variations
Subject Terms and/or Headings are pre-defined terms that are used to describe the content of an item. These terms are a controlled vocabulary and function similarly to hashtags on social media. Look carefully at the results from your search. If you find an article that is relevant to the topic you want to write about, take a look at the subject headings.
Hot Tip: Make a copy of this Google Doc to help you find and develop your topic's keywords.
More Database Recommendations
Need articles for your library research project, but not sure where to start? We recommend these top ten article databases for kicking off your research. If you can't find what you need searching in one of these top ten databases, browse the list of all library databases by subject (academic discipline) or title .

Databases are collections of information. We purchase access to several databases that contain journals and magazines where you can find articles for your research.
There are two types of databases for articles:
Subject-specific: These databases gather articles from journals about specific disciplines or topics, such as Education or Art or Psychology.
- Good for: Finding scholarly articles on very specific topics
Multidisciplinary: These databases gather articles from across multiple disciplines. It could be a database that covers a wide variety of social sciences or it could be a database that covers a wide variety across the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences. Using a subject-specific database often means you can search for very specific topics and find materials.
- Good for: Finding scholarly articles on your topic from a variety of perspectives from different disciplines
Articles that are peer-reviewed can also be referred to as peer-reviewed, refereed or scholarly articles.
Scholarly articles are written by researchers or experts in a field to share the results of their original research or analysis with other researchers, experts and students. These articles go through a process known as "peer review" where the article is reviewed by a group of experts in the field and revised based on peer feedback before being accepted and published by a journal.
This short video further explains what peer review is and why it's important.
- Video: Peer Review
These databases are examples of good subject-specific databases for researching the disciplines of Art, Education, and Psychology:
Education journal articles (EJ references) and ERIC documents (ED references), 1967-present. EDs before 1997 are requestable using the Microforms Request page and usable in the Microforms Vewing Room in the LC.
A free version of ERIC is available for all to use at this link: https://eric.ed.gov/ .
Available on campus to all, or off-campus to UMass Amherst students, staff and faculty with an UMass Amherst IT NetID (user name) and password.
These are examples of multidisciplinary databases that also have a broader focus. Social Science Premium Collection covers multiple disciplines in the social sciences and Scopus has coverage in the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences. With Scopus, you can sort by citation to see highly cited articles.
- Scopus This link opens in a new window Scopus is an indexing and abstracting database of peer-reviewed scholarly content covering the sciences, social sciences, and arts & humanities, comparable to the Web of Science. Scopus allows for the discovery, tracking, and analysis of scholarship that includes: journal articles, conference proceedings, trade magazines, book series, books and book chapters, and patents. Use Scopus to: • Search for documents by topic, title, author, or institutional affiliation • Perform citation searches and establish citation alerts • Export citations to reference management systems • View impact metrics for authors and journals • Integrate Scopus content with ORCID profiles more... less...

We have more than 600 databases on a wide variety of topics. The spectrum ranges from databases that have a very specific topic to databases that are multidisciplinary.
The easiest way to find databases with articles on your research topic is to use the Databases A-Z List. Use the link below to go the list.
You can use the following filters to find databases based on subject and format:
- Click on the Subjects filter to narrow down to a specific subject. If you select Multidisciplinary , you will get databases that cover a wide variety of publications.
- Click on the Types filter and select the Articles filter. This narrows down the list to databases with articles (abstract only and full-text).
- Finally, click Search .
- You can select multiple subjects. Once you've picked one subject, you can go back and select another to add.
- If you use the filters, make sure to click on Clear Filters before switching to another subject and/or format.
- Try exploring different subjects to find databases that have other discipline perspective on your topic. For instance, you might want to explore psychology databases if you're researching the effects of a specific learning theory.
- If there's a database you want to bookmark, make sure to bookmark the link from the Databases A-Z list.
- Databases A-Z List of databases by subject and type.
Library staff at the UMass Libraries have developed research guides by subjects, topics and collections. You can look at various guides and see what resources librarians recommend for those subjects, which includes databases where you can find articles.

If the article that you want doesn't have full-text available, look for this icon in the result for the article and click on it:
This will search our other databases to see if it's available full-text. You'll go to a page that may list several of the options if they are available:
Option | What It Does |
---|---|
Click on the name of the database to go directly to the article. If it lists more than one option, make sure to look at the date ranges to make sure that the date of your article falls within the data range. Sometimes that link will send you to the database instead of the specific article. If that happens, search for the article in the new database. | |
If we don't have another database that has full-text, you can submit an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request for the article (for free!). Clicking on this link will take you to the login for our ILL system. The best part is that it will fill in the article details needed for ILL for you! If you haven't used ILL before, please see the XXXXX page on the left for details on activating your account. | |
This will search Google Scholar to see if there's a full-text version available for the article. | |
This will search Unpaywall to see if there's a full-text version available for the article. Unpaywall is an open database of open access content from publishers and repositories. |
Google Scholar searches scholarly literature across many topics. However, we don't know what it searches - you can't tell if it's a comprehensive search of the literature. The benefit of using library databases is that you can see where the information in the database is from, such as a list of publications.
Use Our Google Scholar Link!
You want to use the Google Scholar link from the Databases A-Z list or use the link below (and use that link if you want a bookmark!)
This will allow you to search Google Scholar and if the article is in one our databases, you'll either see a link to the article on the right and/or you will see UMass Check for Full Text . The check for full text will do the same as the UMass icon described above.
Google Scholar Search Tips
- You can then limit the search by exact phrases, exclude specific words, or select where the words searched occur (anywhere or just the title). You can also search by the author, journal and/or specific date ranges.
- Most of the article search tips below will work for Google Scholar!
- Google Scholar This link opens in a new window Use to access many UMass online journal subscriptions. more... less... Available on campus to all, or off-campus to UMass Amherst students, staff and faculty with an UMass Amherst IT NetID (user name) and password. You can access Google Scholar with UMLinks buttons from outside the UMass Amherst IP range ("off campus") by two methods: 1. Access Google Scholar through the Library web site by using this link. 2. Go to generic Google Scholar. a. Click on "Settings." b. Click on Library links. c. Type in "University of Massachusetts" or "UMass Amherst" (or a few other variations). d. Check "University of Massachusetts Amherst - UMass Check for Full Text" and Save. e. You will be asked to authenticate somewhere along the way to full text.
If you know the name of the journal of the article that you want, you can use Publication Finder to see if we have electronic access to the journal. You can search for the name of the publication and limit by publication type.
How To Search
- If you are getting too many results, you may want to change Contains to Exact Match or Begins With to narrow the results down.
- You can also switch from Title to ISSN and search by the ISSN for the journal if you have it. You can often find the ISSN on the publisher's page for the journal. This is helpful for journals with frequently used words in the title, such as Journal or Education .
- If you see Full Text Delay , this means that there are only abstracts available for the specified number of years.
- Once you've determined that the date is available, click on the name of the database. This will bring you to the details for the publication.
- Usually there is some way to browse by the year (often on the right or in a drop-down field in a bar under the publication's name).
- There is often a link to click to search within that publication or sometimes a search bar to immediately search within the publication.
- Publication Finder Search PubFinder to see if we have electronic access to a publication by name or ISSN.

The journal provides a forum for the discussion and development of qualitative methods across disciplines, publishing high quality articles that contribute to the ways in which we think about and practice the craft of qualitative research.
While many books and articles guide various qualitative research methods and analyses, there is currently no concise resource that explains and differentiates among the most common qualitative approaches. We believe novice qualitative researchers, students planning the design of a qualitative study or taking an introductory qualitative research course, and faculty teaching such courses can ...
