For this final project, you need to locate at least "7 high quality, reputable, and scholarly sources to support their topic."
Scholarly Sources
- Are often defined as sources written by academics or other experts that contribute to a specific field with new findings, theories, analyses, news or summaries of contemporary knowledge.
- They are often peer reviewed, meaning their content went through an editorial process to make sure it was accurate, had reproducible results and includes a list of citations or a bibliography. (All peer reviewed sources are scholarly but not all scholarly sources are peer-reviewed).
- Many of our databases can let researchers filter to just scholarly sources.
- Examples
- Book published by a college or university press
- An academic or disciplinary focused journal like The International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies or The American Journal of Political Science.
Reputable Sources
- Are defined as sources that have a good reputation or are viewed as trustworthy.
- They should have some history of publication, clear availability for the credentials of the author(s) or their editorial board.
