Evaluate Step 3


Scholarly or Popular?- Answer

If you chose ARTICLE 2 as scholarly, you would be right. How did you know? In the acknowledgements section near the end of the article, you can see information about the authors who are experts in their field. There is also a REFERENCE LIST at the end of the article showing where the authors got their information.

The shortcut? Using the located in the search box. Click in the box to peer-reviewed publications and only peer reviewed articles will be retrieved.

 In these publications, all articles are reviewed by experts in the field before the article is published. PERIODICALS which use referees are considered scholarly. Therefore, articles retrieved when using this limit should be scholarly.
