Library databases are a great source for locating peer-reviewed literature!
Find a database's peer-review filter and apply it to your search
Look for peer-reviewed indicators in your search results (some databases are better about displaying these details than others)
To verify that a journal is peer-reviewed, read about the editorial process on the journal's website!
