Can't Find What You're Looking For?

If Quinnipiac does not have full text access to the journal articles that you are looking for, you may order them through Inter-Library Loan, free of charge. Please allow two weeks (maximum) for delivery. You can find the order form here. 

Is It Peer Reviewed

Is it peer-reviewed? If you are unsure if an article is from a peer-reviewed publication, the Journal Locator provides a link to a database that will answer that question. Next to each publication title is a link, "Title details from ulrichsweb.com" (see below) and this link will open to a page describing that particular publication. It will indicate the "Document Type" (Journal, Magazine, Trade) and if it is "Journal;Academic/Scholarly" then right below if it has "Refereed: Yes" then it is peer-reviewed. For example:

Document Type: Journal; Academic/Scholarly
Refereed: Yes
