Google Site Search Locate scholarly information using Google site search ( i.e. exercise and special populations and programs) Select Page 8 Is it a journal article? A website? A syllabus? How do you know if it is peer-reviewed or not? When and where was it “published”

Wikipedia Participation maps popular, not academic concerns It is a working community…but is it a good resource for medical information? Lack of Critical Analysis Problematic as a sole source of information Like all encyclopedias…ok to start, terrible place to stop. Benefits are to its active participants, not its readers.
