Scholarly Literature and the Research Process
Research Article
• A peer reviewed article in a scholarly journal, describing original research and relaying the findings
Identifiable Features of a Research Article
• Usually involves several consistent sections:• Introduction - outlining the purpose of the research,
including a short summary of past research in the area• Methods - explaining the experimental procedure• Results - relaying and analyzing the experimental data• Discussion - explaining trends found in analysis, potential
sources of error, and further directions in the area Other features:

Books/eBooks
• A longer print or digital volume, with several chapters all centred on one relatively broad topic
• May have a single author, or several authors organized by an editor
Review Articles
An article describing the current state of research in an area
Summarizes all of the available information including recent discoveries, debates, known gaps in research, and developing areas
Encyclopedia Entries
Short description of information about a topic which is well accepted and stable within a scholarly community
Dictionary Entries
Definition of a well accepted term used within a scholarly community
News Article
An article for popular audiences explaining scientific advances or knowledge, published in a newspaper, on a news website, or in a popular scientific magazine
May be based on a specific research article, or a summary of accepted scholarly knowledge on a subject
Blog Entry
An entry posted online in a public blog The author may be a scientist or a non-scientist,
and the audience may be other scholars or the general public - the content may vary depending on these factors
Identifying Resources
In pairs, examine the different information sources on the table, and identify what they are. Write the title of each source in the correct box below.

Attribution Identification Localisation Relevance Quality Avoid plagiarism
Citation vs Reference
Citations are found in the body of a document
References are generally found in a bibliography at the end of a document
If you cite something in a document you must also provide the reference
What is a reference?
A short description of an item (journal article, book, video, etc) that answers the following questions…
| What? Title
| Who? Author/Creator
| When? Date
| Where? Source
indicates to your reader what you've taken from someone else’s work and where in that work you found it.
Extracting Reference Elements
In pairs, complete the list for each item as well as you can. Remember that depending on the type of source you’re using, you won’t be able to find all of the citation elements listed in the table.
