Limiters
Once you have an effective search query developed, it is useful sometimes to use limiters. Search limiters let you impose specific controls on the search result to produce a smaller result set that is more precisely focused on what you want. Most search databases offer some ways to limit your search results.
Here are some of the most frequently used limiters:
Full text
In databases that supply only some periodical articles online, the full text limiter will let you immediately restrict your search to articles that are available in full text. Using the full text limiter is handy when you are in a hurry, but can greatly limit the great amount of other articles that you could read online. Try using the UF Libraries’ 
button, which interconnects articles across subscription databases. Simply click on the button to see if the article that you need is available full text in another database.
Publication type
Many databases, such as Academic Search Premier, offer you the option to limit your results to only scholarly or peer reviewed journal articles.
Subject specialized databases that cover many types of publications also let you limit your results to books, book chapters, journals, dissertations, encyclopedias, proceedings and other types of documents or formats.

peer-reviewed
Said of a scholarly journal that requires an article to be subjected to a process of critical evaluation by one or more experts on the subject, known as referees, responsible for determining if the subject of the article falls within the scope of the publication and for evaluating originality, quality of research, clarity of presentation, etc. Changes may be suggested to the author(s) before an article is finally accepted for publication. Also called scholarly or refereed.
