Florida State University Libraries offers access to thousands of reputable academic and peer-reviewed journals to help you bolster your research.

What is peer-review?

Not all academic journals are created equal; only some require their articles to face the peer-review process before publication. The peer-review process has experts in a field anonymously vet and edit articles submitted to journals for publication. If you're looking for exclusively peer-reviewed articles, be sure to check-off the limiter when you're performing your search!

Below are some trade magazines and popular magazines that publish scientific information.
