Where can I find scholarly sources?

Knowing how to find the credible sources you need is important when conducting research.

  • Check with the library at your institution to see what journals, books, research databases, and other types of sources they can give you access to.
  • Search for publications from respected academic publishers and university presses, as these have a reputation for being trustworthy scholarly sources.
  • Search for journals that use a peer review process. They are more credible as experts have reviewed the research before publication.
