You can limit your search in some databases to only show articles from sources that do not use peer review such as magazines and newspapers.

Tip: many databases contain magazine and newspaper articles. Look around in the database you are using to locate ways to limit the search. 

Here is an example search to find magazine and newspaper articles in ProQuest Central:

  1. On the Library home page, click on Databases A-Z. 
  2. Click on All Database Types
  3. On the list that pops up, click on Newspapers & Magazines
  4. Scroll down and click on ProQuest Central. You may be prompted to sign in with your MyWalden email and password.
  5. Type your keywords into the search boxes, for example:
     

    First search box:  

    healthcare 

    Second search box:  

    privilege

  6. Scroll down to the Search Options.  Verify the Full Text box is checked.
  7. In the Source Type box, check Magazines and Newspapers.


     
  8. Click the Search button.
     

 

Tip: By default the database displays the search results by relevance.  You may find it useful to view the results by date.  Use the Sort option in the left column to change the sort order to Most recent first.
