Find Scholarly Articles 4 Easy Ways

  • RamSearch
    • Run your topic search, then limit your results to the Academic Journals source type
    • NOTE: If you want to be guaranteed to have only peer-reviewed journal results, select the Peer reviewed limiter at the top of the results page instead
  • Our Databases
    • The majority of our databases contain scholarly articles from academic journals, and allow you to limit your search to see only those results, and sometimes to see only peer-reviewed journal articles
  • Journal Search
    • Run your topic search, then limit your results to the 'journal' Resource type
    • NOTE: If you want to be guaranteed to have only peer-reviewed journal results, select the 'Peer reviewed' in the 'Limit your results' area on the left of the results page
    • Search for your favorite academic journals by title or ISSN here as well
  • Google Scholar
    • Run your topic search - all results will be limited to scholarly content (mostly journal articles)
    • When it is available, a link to free, online full text will be seen to the right of each result
    • For articles not available free online, check RamSearch for availability of a full text version from the Whittemore Library by running a search for the article's title with a double quote mark ( " ) on each end
