• Most databases provide the option to limit results to Refereed/Peer Reviewed.

Additional note about citing: The following additional information may assist you when citing databases from EBSCO. Note that EBSCO allows you to search multiple databases simultaneously. In order to know in which database the article you are using was found, look for the field marked "Database:" when you are viewing the complete record.

Additional note about full text:

Citations may include the line “Linked Full Text,” which may cause some confusion. If it appears with another option (HTML Full Text or PDF Full Text), take the other option, which will provide you the full text. If it appears alone, as your only option, using it will have one of two results. In some instances this links the user to a full-text document (“Full text from EBSCOhost databases”); in others, it takes the user to a pay-per-view site (“Full text from EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Services”). If the latter happens, check to see if the journal (not the article) title appears in another of the available databases (you can do this using the database named Journal Search) —or if it’s at at Troy University Library (you can use the Library Catalog to do that ... within the catalog, search by Periodical Title [it is one of the search options]).
