These databases contain peer-reviewed sources (i.e., academic, scholarly, or refereed sources) that are written by experts in the discipline. They utilize standards of research and writing directed by editors and other professionals in their field - this ensures the quality and accuracy of the information in the journal or book.
If you need any assistance, please contact a librarian using the information in the Need Help box on the right corner of this page OR use the chat widget on the right.
