NOTE: This particular record is for an article that is a BOOK Review. Even though the article appears in a peer-reviewed journal, book reviews do NOT qualify as a peer-reviewed article. Reviews are not peer-reviewed articles presenting new research information to readers; they are just evaluating and critiquing the work of another author. You might want to locate the books that are being reviewed.

EXAMPLE of limiting by field:

After doing some searches, you might want to limit by field if you have too many results. It's not a recommended strategy when you're starting your search so you should always begin searching without limiters to see all results. Use the dropdown menu to select a field.
