•
1 like•401 views
This document compares scholarly and popular sources across four major criteria: purpose, authority, audience, and content. Scholarly sources are intended to report original research, are written by experts and published by reputable publishers, use specialized language for other experts, and contain in-depth analysis, references, and research. Popular sources are intended to entertain or inform general audiences, are often written by non-experts, use informal language, and contain summaries and eye-catching graphics instead of in-depth analysis.

Academic and Non Academic writing by Sohail Ahmed Solangi
Academic and non-academic writing differ in format, purpose, and tone. Academic writing is formal, objective, and relies on research and evidence to inform an educated audience. It includes introductions, discussions of topics, and conclusions. Non-academic writing is more personal, emotional, and subjective in nature for general audiences and can be more informal in tone to entertain or persuade readers. Examples of academic writing include research papers and theses while non-academic writing includes letters, memoirs, and magazine articles.
Critical writing including evaluating resources
Academic writing can be descriptive or analytical. Descriptive writing provides background details, but should be brief to allow space for analysis and evaluation, which is needed to earn higher grades. Analysis examines reasons, relationships, and alternatives, while evaluation assesses significance, implications, and strengths or weaknesses. Critical analysis discusses evidence, theories, comparisons, and currency or relevance of ideas. Both description and analysis are important, but analytical writing is emphasized for assessment.

Unit 2,b topic media typology
A periodical is any regularly published publication, including magazines, journals, and newspapers. A magazine is a periodical aimed at the general public that contains news, narratives, opinions, and illustrations written by professional writers with varying levels of expertise. A journal is a scholarly periodical aimed at specialists that contains original research, conclusions based on data, citations, and often abstracts written by experts using technical language. It is important to understand the differences between journals and magazines, as magazines are not intended to support academic research due to their lack of documentation and depth. Key differences are around content, authors, audience, peer-review process, language, organization, citations, and examples. Effective techniques for improving reader comprehension include having a clear title

How to write a research paper.pptx
This document provides guidance on how to write a research paper. It discusses selecting a narrow topic to research in depth. The main parts of a research paper are then outlined as the introduction, body, and conclusion. Key sections like the abstract, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and references are also described. The introduction should frame the topic and research question. The literature review summarizes previous work and findings. The methodology justifies the research approach. The results present findings, while the discussion analyzes trends and significance. Plagiarism is avoided by properly citing sources. Overall, the goal is to advance knowledge by answering a research question based on studied materials and analysis.
Evaluating sources
This document provides guidance on evaluating information sources based on various criteria such as authority, accuracy, content, relevance, objectivity, audience, writing style, and currency. It involves asking questions about the author and publisher's credentials, whether the information and references seem correct, if the content is on topic and answers key questions, the intended audience, logical organization, and date of publication. The overall message is to thoroughly evaluate all sources used for research by focusing on their authority, accuracy, and recency.
Popular vs. Scholarly
Scholarly journals and popular magazines differ in their purpose, style, and intended audience. Scholarly journals are intended for academic experts, featuring in-depth articles written by researchers and citing multiple sources. They use plain designs and specialized language. Popular magazines entertain a general audience, prioritizing visual appeal over detailed research with few citations. Their goal is to promote viewpoints and sell advertising.
Popular Magazines vs. Scholary Journals
Scholarly journals and popular magazines differ in their purpose, style, and intended audience. Scholarly journals are intended for academic experts, featuring in-depth articles written by researchers and citing multiple sources. They use technical language and have a plain appearance. Popular magazines are intended for general audiences for entertainment and viewpoints, featuring glossy pages with many graphics and advertisements. Articles are shorter and rarely cite sources.
Magazines and Journals
Magazines and journals differ in their purpose, content, and accuracy. Magazines have eye-catching covers and images to sell copies and contain advertisements, while journals do not. Magazine articles provide broad overviews for the general public without citations, whereas journal articles present new in-depth scholarly research and findings for specialists with citations. Magazines are not peer-reviewed so stories may distort findings to sell more, while most journals are peer-reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable research.
Research Methods (August 2012)
The document outlines the differences between scholarly and non-scholarly articles, noting that scholarly articles are intended to share primary research results with other scholars, go through peer review, have a formal academic style, and include references, while non-scholarly articles aim to inform the general public in a casual style without peer review or references. It also provides examples of scholarly and non-scholarly publications and outlines the parts of a typical scholarly research article and peer review process.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
