LibGuides: HS 333: The Vietnam Era: Periodicals (Print & Online)

Introduction

Databases, listed on the right, will lead you to peer-reviewed journals, specific to the study of the Vietnam War era. Please note that articles published in peer-reviewed journals are reviewed by experts and rigorously vetted before publication. Popular magazines, such as the ones found on magazine racks of large booksellers or published on Google, are not peer-reviewed.

Access to peer-reviewed materials is possible only through academic affiliation; i.e.,undergraduates, graduates, and faculty.
