SCHOLARLY (OR
ACADEMIC (OR
JOURNAL)) ARTICLES
LINC Session | Spring „14 | Ms Hazzard
Some terminology
 Scholarly = Academic = Journal
 NOT magazine or newspaper articles
What are scholarly articles?
 Report original research
 Authored by specialists
 Published in academic journals
How to determine if a source is
scholarly…
 Formal language
 Formal presentation
 Author background / experience
 Proper citation and bibliography
 Original research and interpretation
 Not just a summary
 Use of primary sources
 Use of research methodology
Why do we use them?
 To find out more about a specific topic
 EXPECTED in academic work: gives you
credibility.
 Authors undergo rigorous process of
submission and peer-editing, often working for
more than one year on a single article: gives
author / research credibility.
Different types of scholarly
articles
 Research
 Review
 Theoretical
 Clinical
 Brief report
 Book review

Skimming / 1
 Think about WHO / WHAT / WHERE / WHEN /
WHY / HOW as you read
 Look for important facts, key vocabulary words
and terms, and words that are clues to
relationships e.g. therefore, because, until,
instead
 Look up definitions!
 Key sections: ABSTRACT / INTRODUCTION /
RESULTS / CONCLUSION / FIGURES
Skimming / 2
 What is the author trying to say, and how are
they trying to say it
 Why is the author‟s point important?
 What is the social context of the work?
 Highlight / circle / underline!
Skimming / 3: Look at the
bibliography
 Which sources were used to write this paper?
 Even if article is of no use, bibliography can be
very helpful
 Can help you narrow your focus
Narrowing your focus
Evaluating your article
 Authors
 Date
 Publication information
Accessing scholarly articles
 Not „google-able‟: $$$
 Via CPIQ / Proquest / Questia / databases at
the Toronto Public Library
 Choose peer-reviewed / academic journals tab
CPIQ
Proquest
Questia
How to search a database
 Remember that only RECENT articles are
indexed (usually mid-‟90s onwards)
 Start with keyword search
 Remember to use quotation marks e.g.
“Roman Temples”
 If no matches, use synonyms
 Think about using connecting words
e.g. Smoking OR Tobacco / Gods AND Egypt
Evaluating your source
 Read critically
 Look for bias
 Assess the argument
 Read the acknowledgements, particularly in
science articles
Citation
Author of article last name, first name. "Title of article."
Name of publication. Volume. Issue (Date):
Page numbers. Name of Database. Web. Date of
Access.
O'Meara, Stephen James. "A Volcanic Sunset."
