When a source has been peer-reviewed it has undergone the review and scrutiny of a review board of colleagues in the author's field. Why use scholarly sources? The authority and credibility evident in scholarly sources will contribute a great deal to the overall quality of your papers. How can I tell if a source is scholarly?
