• What are the article’s subjects? Do they match your keywords?
• When was the article published?
• Length: scholarly research articles are usually between 10-25 pages
Selecting articlesWhat do I need to consider in selecting an article?
• Does the article have extensive Reference or Bibliography or Notes at the end?
• Scholarly research articles always list the books and articles they have cited and used to build their own research
• These lists can also be a place to find other interesting books and articles on the same topic
Selecting articles How do I know this is a peer reviewed journal?
• Use the Ulrich’s database to check if a Journal Title is Peer reviewed
