How do I find peer-reviewed articles or journals?

Answer

If an article has been peer-reviewed, that means other experts in the field read drafts of the article to be sure it met high academic and research standards.  Peer-reviewed articles tend to be written on a very narrow topic or specific research question, use highly specialized terminology, and be rather long with many citations.

Most library databases have features built in to help find scholarly and peer-reviewed articles.  Look for the filter options on your search results.  Usually, it's a matter of checking a box.
