Academic articles are written by experts in the field for academics (such as students and professors) and researchers. These articles often have extensive citations/references at the end of each article.
Peer-reviewed articles are articles that have been reviewed by other experts in the field and are considered to be the best types of articles. You can determine if a journal article is peer-reviewed using UlrichsWeb.
Databases collect and organize many journals about a particular field of research together in a single place that can be searched easily. For example, "Sociological Abstracts" or "Anthropology Plus".
In other words, you search a database to find articles that have been published in journals.
