One way to find an international peer reviewed journal is to use a database focused on the subject area of your choice and use the advanced search limiters.
 

  1. From the Library website click on Research by Subject.
  2. Click the link for your subject area. For example, you might click Public Policy & Administration or Criminal Justice & Security
  3. Scroll down to the Articles, journals & books box and click on databases to see a list of databases.
  4. Click on the database link you want. For example: Political Science Complete

    Note: You may need to log in with your myWalden user name and password. 
     
  5. Type your search terms in the search boxes. For this search, in the first box type: 

     international OR global OR world
     
  6. Change the drop-down on the right from Select a Field  to SO Publication Name.
  7. Type your topic keywords in the second and third search boxes. For example: 

    immigration

    Tip: if you put in no other search terms in the second and third search boxes you will get more results but they will be less focused.


     
  8. Scroll down to the section: Limit your results.
  9. Click inside the boxes to select Full Text and Peer Reviewed
  10. Click the Search button. 

Your results are all articles from peer-reviewed journals with the word international or global or world in the journal title. 

How do I find a persistent or permanent link to an article in a Library database?
