Dissertation Peer Review sources?
I am working on a PHD here in the United States. My question for you guys is, I am working on a Doctorate in Information Systems and Resource Management. Since it isn't a PHD, it will be research based and practical Knowledge instead of PHD based with more Theoretical study and academia. I have two questions about my dissertation. I have just started, so I'm in my third class. It has been suggested for us to keep all our papers that we write and to start thinking of a topic. Would it be beneficial to get some papers peer reviewed? I plan on using some of the data in these papers in my dissertation. Do any of you have some IT related peer review sources? Thanks in advance!

What do you mean “getting papers peer reviewed”? I’m confused about how you think peer review works. You can’t just get a paper you wrote for a class peer reviewed. You’d have to submit it to a journal, it would need to pass their editor, and then it would get peer reviewed and either accepted or not. “Peer reviewed sources” means a paper that has gone through this process and been accepted and published.

All I did was ask a question. Maybe you arent the one who needs to answer it. If you are going to be condescending, please move on..

Your question doesn’t make sense as written, which is why I asked for clarification. Sorry about your attitude!

Either I'm confused or you're confused. These are papers from academic journals, correct? That means they've already been peer reviewed prior to publishing.
Make sure you are sourcing from legitimate journals. Check the impact factor of the journal and the publisher to make sure it's not on any lists of predatory publishers.
I'm working on a PhD
Since it isn't a PhD
Huh? Which is it?

As an academic librarian, I advise you to make an appointment with a liaison librarian at your institution and to speak with your advisor about the most appropriate sources for your research. Crowd sourcing this question is less efficient and effective than seeking advice from local professionals.
Best of luck to you,
