Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, and Peacebuilding

Scholarly articles, sometimes called academic, vetted, or peer-reviewed articles, are one of the most important ways that researchers in a field share their ideas with other experts. Scholarly articles are selected through a process called peer-review and published in academic journals. They can be accessed by searching in OneSearch or one of our library databases.

One important thing to know about library resources like scholarly articles is that they often require expensive subscriptions to access. One of the jobs our library and librarians have is selecting which databases, journals, books, and other resources we will subscribe to and paying for them. Because of cost, most of the resources our library subscribes to are not accessible to people who are not affiliated with a university or other institution.
