Scholarly sources generally:
Look up your Journal title in Ulrich's to see if it is a scholarly or popular periodical.
Common elements of a scholarly article:
Primary Sources
These are original sources of information on which other research is based, including documents such as poems, diaries, court records, interviews, surveys, and fieldwork. Primary materials also include research results generated by experiments, which are published as journal articles in some fields of study, or as sets of data such as census statistics which have been tabulated but not interpreted.
Secondary Sources
These sources describe or analyze the primary source. Examples of secondary sources include dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and books and articles that interpret or review research works.
