You can find peer-reviewed journal articles by using the uSearch discovery system available on the Calder Library website. Enter search terms related to your topic and click on “Search.”
You can refine your uSearch results by using the filters available on the left side of the screen. Look for the section called “Availability.” Click on the checkbox labeled “Peer-reviewed Journals,” then click on “Apply Filters”.
For more precise and advanced searches, you can also find peer-reviewed journal articles using the library databases. Click on the Databases link in the "Start Your Research" box of the library homepage to view all the available databases or scroll down to the Popular Resources section for a few of the most frequently used options.
Note that many, but not all, articles in databases are peer-reviewed. Some databases, such as CINAHL Plus, will allow you to filter your search results for articles from only Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals.
If you are not certain whether an article is peer-reviewed, Ask a Librarian.
