  • The Cal Poly Pomona Library website defines "peer reviewed" or "refereed" articles as articles that "have been read and evaluated (refereed) by scholars/experts in that field to make sure that published articles reflect solid scholarship and advance the state of knowledge in a discipline."
  • The University Library Catalog (OneSearch) and databases allow you to adjust your search filters to find only peer reviewed articles
