Finding Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles

Search Tips:

Put phrases into quotation marks, like "attachment stability" or "public assistance"
Try synonyms to bring back different results. "child care" "public assistance" will bring back different sources than "child care" SNAP.
In the All Items field (below the search box), choose Articles.
Use "Scholarly/Peer-Reviewed" at the top of the left-hand column if you want only scholarly journal articles.
