PEER-REVIEWED SCHOLARLY RESEARCH JOURNAL ARTICLES
Begin by watching this video: What is a Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journal?
When you are looking for peer-reviewed research articles, be sure to select “Full-Text” and
“Peer-Reviewed.” To find useful articles, narrow your search by selecting portions of the theory,
key words, or phrases to use as your search parameters. Using only the theorist’s name or theory
will likely result in too many results to be effective.
Your articles must be from scholarly peer reviewed journals. It is preferred that the journals you
select have the word “Journal” in the title (Journal of Marriage and Family, etc.). Ideally, each
journal that you review will have a Methods section, Data, Results, and Conclusion sections, but
these sections are not required. You must not use book reviews, obituaries, magazine articles, or
online articles that have not been published in scholarly journals.
