Scholarly & Peer Reviewed Sources

Definitions: Scholarly or Academic Journals (or books): books or journals in which the scholarship or research of an academic discipline is published. Scholarly journals are usually but not always peer-reviewed. Peer-Reviewed or Refereed Journals (or articles, or books): articles or books that have been submitted to a panel of experts in the discipline for review prior to publication. This process provides a greater assurance that the research presented is sound.
