Scholarly Research
In college, you are often required to use scholarly (aka academic, peer-reviewed) sources.
CHECK:
- Was it written by experts? They're affiliated with a university or provide their educational background (e.g. PhD).
- Is it based on research? The findings are based on a study conducted or on a review of other expert literature. There MUST be a bibliography or works cited list.
- Who is the intended audience? Scholarly sources will use complex, expert language and be fairly lengthy. Most academic research is published in peer-reviewed journals or books, not freely available thru Google.
