Finding and accessing peer-reviewed journal articles
You can use NORA Power Search to help you find and access peer-reviewed journal articles. Once you have typed in your keywords you can use Refine your search which gives you the option to restrict your results:
This option is also provided in many of the bibliographic databases you can access via NORA, for example:
Business Source Premier, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus - which are available on the EBSCOhost platform - http://search.ebscohost.com/
Proquest databases such as ASSIA, ARTbibliographies Modern, Biological Sciences and British Humanities Index - http://search.proquest.com/
Remember that to access some of these databases you will need to enter your University credentials (computer username and password). For more information see: Logging into e-resources
Some journals when accessed via a database will indicate whether they are academic and peer-reviewed (see image below):
