Florida State University Libraries offers access to thousands of reputable academic and peer-reviewed journals to help you bolster your research.
Not all academic journals are created equal; only some require their articles to face the peer-review process before publication. The peer-review process has experts in a field vet and provide feedback on articles submitted to journals prior to publication. If you're exclusively looking for peer-reviewed articles, be sure to apply the peer-reviewed limiter available in most databases when you're performing your search!
For more detailed information on the peer-review process, see the following video:
