Scholarly Articles
- Differences Between Scholarly & Popular MaterialsThis guide from NC State University illustrates the differences between scholarly sources, popular sources, and trade publications.
A publication is considered to be peer reviewed if its articles go through an official editorial process that involves review and approval by the author's peers (people who are experts in the same subject area.) Most (but not all) scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
