Research Article A peer reviewed article in a scholarly journal, describing original research and relaying the findings

Identifiable Features of a Research Article Usually involves several consistent sections: Introduction - outlining the purpose of the research, including a short summary of past research in the area Methods - explaining the experimental procedure Results - relaying and analyzing the experimental data Discussion - explaining trends found in analysis, potential sources of error, and further directions in the area  Other features: | clues/ clues/

Books/eBooks A longer print or digital volume, with several chapters all centred on one relatively broad topic May have a single author, or several authors organized by an editor

Review Articles  An article describing the current state of research in an area  Summarizes all of the available information including recent discoveries, debates, known gaps in research, and developing areas

Encyclopedia Entries  Short description of information about a topic which is well accepted and stable within a scholarly community

Dictionary Entries  Definition of a well accepted term used within a scholarly community

News Article  An article for popular audiences explaining scientific advances or knowledge, published in a newspaper, on a news website, or in a popular scientific magazine  May be based on a specific research article, or a summary of accepted scholarly knowledge on a subject

Blog Entry  An entry posted online in a public blog  The author may be a scientist or a non-scientist, and the audience may be other scholars or the general public - the content may vary depending on these factors

Identifying Resources  In pairs, examine the different information sources on the table, and identify what they are. Write the title of each source in the correct box below.

Citation ? Why do we cite?

 Attribution  Identification  Localisation  Relevance  Quality  Avoid plagiarism

Citation vs Reference  Citations are found in the body of a document  References are generally found in a bibliography at the end of a document  If you cite something in a document you must also provide the reference

What is a reference?  A short description of an item (journal article, book, video, etc) that answers the following questions… |What? Title |Who? Author/Creator |When? Date |Where? Source  indicates to your reader what you've taken from someone else’s work and where in that work you found it.

Extracting Reference Elements  In pairs, complete the list for each item as well as you can. Remember that depending on the type of source you’re using, you won’t be able to find all of the citation elements listed in the table.
