Annotated Bibliography

Academic sources are articles from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals, or articles published by academic presses.

How do I know if a publication is scholarly?

Here are some clues:

• Who is the author? Look for authors with advanced degrees with lots of experience in their field. They are often affiliated with a university or other institution.
• Who is the publisher? Look for sources published by a university press or a scholarly association.
• Are there cited sources? Look for a bibliography or list of references and review to check the quality of those sources.
• Check the content of the source. The publication should be written for an academic audience using terminology appropriate for the discipline. Always evaluate your source for accuracy and bias.

You will check appropriate databases within EBSCOhost for your search.
