When you find articles for your research, typically these will be scholarly and peer-reviewed. These types of articles are published in journals, and increasingly these journals are electronic and searchable via databases.
Journals are specialized publications that publish scholarly research. Gaining expertise in a subject area typically involves learning which journals publish research relevant to that field. For undergraduate research, you will usually access journals via databases, though it can be helpful to explore certain individual titles (see the "Food Studies eJournals" box for titles relevant to the Food Cluster).
The UCLA Library provides access to hundreds of databases where you can search for scholarly articles.
