Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly
A source written by scholars or academics in a
field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is
to report on original research or
experimentation in order to make such
information available to the rest of the
scholarly community. The audience for
scholarly sources is other scholars or experts

13. in a field. Scholarly sources include references
and usually use language that is technical or at
a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define
“scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus
a source that is considered “scholarly” in one
database may not be considered “scholarly” in
another database. The final decision about
the appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
Scholarly Journals
• Journal of Management Information
Systems
• American Journal of Public Health
• Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university
press or other high-quality publisher)
• Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and
Society in the Modern World
• The Grand Design: Strategy and the
U.S. Civil War
• The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise:
Molecules That Move Us
Journal articles:
• Recent research on a topic

14. • Very specific topics or narrow
fields of research
• NOT good for an introduction to
or broad overview of a topic
Books:
• In-depth information and research
on a topic
• Putting a topic into context
• Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed
A publication that has gone through an official
editorial process that involves review and
approval by the author’s peers (experts in the
same subject area). Many (but not all)
scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed,
some types of articles within that journal may
not be peer reviewed. These might include
editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some
trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not
scholarly. This is not common.
See “Scholarly Journals” above
Books go through a different editorial process

15. and are not usually considered to be “peer
reviewed”. However, they can still be
excellent scholarly sources.
See above
Credible
A source that can be trusted to contain
accurate information that is backed up by
evidence or can be verified in other trusted
sources. Many types of sources can fall into
this category.
*Note: The final decision about the
appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
See above. Also:
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Books
• Trade journals or publications
• Government websites
• Websites from educational
institutions (like universities)

16. • Websites or other publications from
reputable organizations (like the Mayo
Clinic)
• Encyclopedias (general or subject)
Many websites could be considered credible.
The more information provided about the
source, the more likely they are to be credible.
Look for information about the author and/or
the organization, how recently it was
published, the intended audience, the
intended purpose, and whether there is
evidence of bias.
• Basic/general/background
information about a topic
• Current events
• Local news
• Statistical data
• Information about specific
organizations or companies (look
at the organization’s or company’s
website, or look for articles in
newspapers or trade journals)
• Government information
• Information about popular culture
• Opinions or commentaries

17. • Topics of general interest
