Scholarly & Peer-Reviewed Articles

The best place to find scholarly and/or peer-reviewed articles is through SAU's library homepage (https://www.sau.edu/library) or directly through the library's Databases page (https://libguides.sau.edu/az.php). Scholarly and/or peer-reviewed articles are one of the most plentiful types of scholarly sources.
