Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed Articles
Why should you care about Peer-Review? Peer-Reviewed Articles are typically written by leading experts in the given
field of research
These are the papers that help YOU become an expert.
Peer-Reviewed Articles are properly referenced (footnotes, endnotes &/or bibliography) and also cite other Peer-Reviewed Articles.
Your papers are expected to demonstrate the same qualities as published Peer-Reviewed Articles—Seek out publishing & conference opportunities as a student?
Peer-Reviewed Articles make a significant research contribution.
Your paper can also make significant contributions to research & the quality of the education received at UAB.

The Ultimate Question: I found some sources, but are
they good???
1: Self-Evaluate Your Idea
• What is the assignment asking you to do? • What do you hope to accomplish with your paper?• What do you want people to know after reading your
paper?
There are 3 parts to evaluating your sources
I found some sources, but are they good???
2: Evaluate the Article/Information You’ve Found
• What journal published the study—is it peer reviewed?
• Who are the authors—are they experts, do they have credentials?
• Are the tables, charts and graphs meaningful—do they demonstrate relevant support of the topic?
• Is the methodology logical—are there flaws in the study?
• Does the author use valid references to support their claims?
• Is the author biased to the point that their argument becomes unbalanced—do they acknowledge dissenting voices?
• Ask yourself: is this the source I should use or is there a more reputable one? (Ex: About.com vs. WebMD vs. MedlinePlus)
I found some sources, but are they good???
3: Evaluate Your Use of the Article
• Does the article fit within the scope of the paper you are assigned to write?
• Does the article provide support to your ideas?• Are you using the facts presented in the article in a
purposeful way? • Are you using the article to speak for you, or are your
own ideas shining through?
