The simplest way to find journal articles is to use the library search box and limiting your results to "Peer-reviewed journals." That's a good place to start. However, depending on the subject area of your research topic, you might want to try searching just one database that focuses on that subject area.

Here's a list of our history databases, and here's a list of our English literature databases. The complete list of databases that Simpson Library subscribes to is here.
