Google Scholar

Google Scholar is a search engine that provides access to a wide variety of scholarly literature including articles, books, dissertations, conference proceedings, patents, legal opinions, and more. The results from a Google Scholar search are more focused on academic and scholarly materials than those returned through a standard Google search. Google Scholar can be a helpful tool for  academic researchers. However, there is no way to limit your search results solely to peer-reviewed articles when using Google Scholar. If you have been instructed to find peer-reviewed articles, you should begin your research using the Library’s databases to conduct your research.
