PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLES
- Original, scholarly research conducted by experts within a field or discipline
- Prior to publication, work is reviewed by other scholars or experts within that same discipline
- Peer-review ensures that the information being presented to you is based on solid evidence, scientific facts, not opinions
- Provides a level of quality control
- Articles generally include: Introduction, literature review, method, analysis, conclusion, references
Peer review is important not only because your professors will be requiring it of you, but also because they represent the most scholarly, most authoritative information within the different disciplines
