How to Find Peer-Reviewed Sources
Using library databases to find sources that will actually be accepted.
Start in your university library rather than a general search engine. Use a database like CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO or Business Source Complete, tick the peer-reviewed filter, and limit the date range to the last five years unless your assignment says otherwise. Read the abstract before the full text, and note immediately what claim each source supports so you are not re-reading later.
