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 vet and provide feedback on articles submitted to journals prior to publication. If you're exclusively looking for peer-reviewed articles, be sure to apply the peer-reviewed limiter available in most databases when you're performing your search!
