"Academic" "Scholarly" "Peer Reviewed"
These are words used to describe the types of sources you may be required to use in college.
Here is a quick checklist to help you determine if a resource is academic or scholarly or peer reviewed:
- Author and author's affiliation are always listed.
- Article uses technical, specialized vocabulary.
- Article reports on experiments, studies or literature reviews.
- Article uses graphs, tables, data.
- Article always includes footnotes or citations.
