Writing a Literature Review in the Arts and Humanities

2 Ways To Find Scholarly Journals

Two common ways to find scholarly journal articles:

1. Search an article database and then limit the search to scholarly (peer-reviewed or refereed) materials; or 

2. Locate a journal and verify if it is a scholarly one, using Ulrich's Global Serials Directory database.


If you are still unsure of whether a journal is a scholarly journal or not, the best source to turn to is an expert in your field -- ask your professor.

1. Search an Article Database then Limit the Search

1) At a subject database (such as ABI/INFORM Complete)

2) Enter a keyword at the search box and select Peer reviewed option (if available)

Example search on ABI/INFORM Complete 

3. Then select Scholarly Journals to limit the results
