Evaluating Resources

Evaluate Articles - Works Cited/Reference List/Bibliography

Lastly, an evaluation of an article should also consider the following question:

What research sources does the author cite?
	works cited/reference list/bibliography often omitted supplies little information about research sources		works cited/reference list/bibliography required includes a lengthy list of other reputable research sources

Describe--in detail and in your own words--the difference between scholarly journal articles and popular magazine articles. Why do you think many instructors require students to use scholarly journal articles instead of popular magazine articles?
