CSU Libraries Databases
Use CSU Libraries databases to search for articles (peer-reviewed/refereed, or magazine, or newspaper) related to your research topic. Begin with the general databases listed for foreign languages.
Online full text (the entire text of an article) is not always directly available from the database record. From a database record, use the button to check for full-text availability through the CSU Libraries. If this check shows that full text is not available, use the on-screen option to submit an interlibrary loan request for the article.
Peer reviewed / refereed.
Your course assignment criteria may specify that you use peer reviewed (also known as refereed) journal articles.
- Peer review in five minutes: What's so special about peer-reviewed articles?
(Online tutorial; 5:00 min.; from the NCSU Libraries) - Some Libraries databases provide a search screen option to limit your search to peer reviewed (refereed) journal articles.
- To determine if a journal is peer reviewed (refereed), search the journal title in the UlrichsWeb database.
Access a specific article / journal.
To determine if the Libraries provides access to a specific article or journal, browse the journal a-z list or run a search in the Citation Linker that is available at top in the Primo Advanced Search screen.
