Quick Tips about Academic Research Papers

How do I know it's a good source?

How do I know if it's a scholarly journal or a popular magazine?

  • Scholarly – written by researchers for fellow researchers; language and presentation are formal; purpose is to present the results of research
  • Popular – written for average reader, language and presentation are informal, purpose is to inform or entertain
  • Professional – written for fellow practitioners, the style may be scholarly or popular

What's plagiarism and how do I avoid it?

  • To avoid it – follow a style manual (usually MLA or APA) to cite your sources
