How do I find journal articles?

I need help with finding research articles. How can I find peer-reviewed articles?


  1. Go to the Mercer University Libraries' homepage
  2. Scroll down a little until you see the Discovery search box
  3. Use the most important terms in your research topic or research question to search 
  • For example, "What are the best study skills for non-traditional adult learners to have?" becomes study skills and non-traditional learners
  1. Once you have your terms, type them into the Discovery search box and press enter

Discovery search box with search terms study skills and non-traditional learners entered.

  1. Once you're on the results page, you can use the filters on the left-hand side to narrow your search to peer-reviewed, full text, year created, and much more.
