I am trying to find peer-reviewed articles for my Applied Criminology class. I am not sure where to find them, or how to determine whether or not they are peer-reviewed articles.
From the University Library page, click the tab for Articles and Databases in the center of the page. From the drop-down subject box, select criminal justice and then click GO. This will take you to a page that lists several databases, most containing peer-reviewed articles or at least citations for them. You can read a description of types of articles included and choose one that seems relevant. Once you bring up the database you will see one or several search boxes for entering your terms and keywords. Look around and usually there is a box to check for peer-reviewed, either before or after doing the search.
Off-campus you may need to enter your Washburn email and password before connecting to a database.
Please call 670-1483 if you have any problems and we'll be glad to walk you through doing a search.
