What are scholarly sources?
Scholarly sources (also referred to as academic, peer-reviewed, or refereed sources) are written by experts in a particular field and serve to keep others interested in that field up to date on the most recent research, findings, and news. These resources will provide the most substantial information for your research and papers.
How do I recognize scholarly sources?
- Author has a PhD(or MD, JD, etc.) in the subject they are writing about
- Contains references or citations to other scholarly work
- Usually contains more technical language
- Usually 10 pages or longer
- Almost never contains ads
