Before an article may be published in a scholarly or academic
journal, it must pass a process known as peer-review. Experts in that
subject area review the article to ensure that the information included
is accurate, written in a professional manner, and without bias.
To search for peer-reviewed articles in the GALILEO databases, look in the section of the page that reads "Limit results" and then check the box next to Scholarly journals or Peer-Review.
