What is a peer-reviewed article?
Instructors will often ask you to use a peer-reviewed article from a scholarly journal. This is an article that has been read and reviewed by other experts in the same field before being published in a scholarly journal. With multiple layers of fact-checking and validation, these articles will be your most reliable source of information about new research.
Please note: a book review is not a research article, even if they are published in the same peer-reviewed journal.
