Scholarly Articles
Scholarly Articles/Source (AKA Scientific Article): are articles that are written by experts in academic or professional fields. The article is likely published in academic journals or academic magazines. Upon publishing, many articles undergo peer review, which means that a group of other experts in the field have reviewed the article.
** All Peer-Reviewed articles are Scholarly Articles, but not all Scholarly Articles are Peer Reviewed!
