These databases provide articles that have been reviewed by scholars in the relevant field prior to publication. This is a form of quality control that, while not perfect, provides excellent quality control in scholarly discourse.
Please note: Some of these databases cover popular sources (books, book reviews, opinion pieces, etc.) as well as scholarly journals. When you search, you can limit your results to peer-reviewed articles.
For books related to cycling, urban design, and sustainability, use BU Libraries Search, a discovery tool that connects you to the BU Libraries resources.
