Scholarly sources, which are normally published in journals, as book chapters, or in conference proceedings, usually cover specific topics at a fairly deep level. In industrial design, scholarly sources may include essays, reviews, and research articles or white papers. Scholarly sources also often refer to research publications that have undergone the peer-review process. This process allows experts in the field to write and publish their original research.

A scholarly database organizes the best quality, most relevant information for a field or discipline in one place so it can be searched. Because there is so much scholarly research and so many different fields, databases specialize in which kinds of information or tools they provide.
Scholarly databases take into account the important publications and research methods of a field or discipline. The database helps you make choices about which articles you want to see - by subject, dates of publication, overall topic, and more. Google and Google Scholar, while vast, do no quality control on the content they provide or give you good tools to narrow your focus.
Find additional databases on our A-Z Databases page, or search for articles by author, title or topic through Articles+ in the Library Catalog.

Peer reviewed journals are an important place where researchers and designers communicate their findings. May journals can be accessed through databases available through the NJIT Library website. Other journals are available only in print, so be sure to check the new journals and bound journals section In Littman Library, and search the catalogue for industrial design journals.
