What is a Peer-Reviewed Journal?
• A periodical that contains scholarly research, which is published as articles, papers, research reports, or technical reports.
• Items are reviewed by a panel of experts (peer-review) before being published.
• Also known as a refereed journal.
How Do I Find a Peer-Reviewed Article?
From the library’s home page – www.tarleton.edu/library
• Research Guides by subject• Animal Sciences & Wildlife Management
• Selected Peer Reviewed Journals
• Takes you to library catalog entry
• From there you can access issues available online and see what we have in print or microform.
• Article databases
• Some databases let you narrow your search to such journals
• For example - Agriculture Journals (from ProQuest)
• Use Databases Descriptions to learn more about a particular database to determine if it will work for you.
AGRICOLA
• U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Library (AGRICultural OnLine Access)
• Use the direct link - http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/ because you can access this even after you leave Tarleton
• Select Keyword Search under Articles
• Enter search term(s) and search IN: Keyword Anywhere
It’s best to break up your search terms among the boxes.
