What are Peer-reviewed / Scholarly Sources?

Does your instructor require you to use Scholarly Sources for your research paper?

Scholarly Sources are often referred to in many ways; your instructor may call them Peer-Reviewed Articles, Academic Articles, Journal Articles, Research Articles & more. Even databases differ in the terminology they use, all referring to basically the same thing.  Watch  Peer Review in 3 Minutes by NC State Libraries to learn about  these high-quality sources.
