Scholarly (peer-reviewed) resources undergo review by experts in a field of study, who determine that the article is objective and credible before they are published. Examples of peer-reviewed resources include articles in scientific journals, encyclopedias, and textbooks

Non-scholarly resources are published without review by experts. Non-scholarly resources range from a variety of types, such as websites and magazines, to newspapers, and books.

* If you plan to use non-scholarly materials, ask your instructor beforehand, and use the CRAAP test to guide your judgement in using these resources.
