ERIC Searching Tips

  • Select the Peer Reviewed checkbox below the search boxes to find academic, scholarly articles

  • In addition to journal articles, your search may include ERIC Documents (they have codes that start with ED such as: ED626311)
    • ERIC Documents include conference papers, handbooks, reports, and other materials gathered and published by the U.S. Department of Education.
    • ERIC Documents do not go through a peer review process, so you will want to evaluate these items with a critical eye to determine their quality.
