IDENTIFYING SOURCE OF INFORMATION

In academic texts, writers often cite sources to support the information they are presenting. Especially when doing your own research, it's useful to identify these sources, so that you can refer to them for more information, if you so choose. These might include: • interviews - quotations from experts irk a particular field • scholarly journals - publications in a specific field, such as psychology or medicine; articles written by researchers presenting the findings of their research studies • popular journals - magazines intended to reach a wide audience; include articles on a variety of topics • almanacs - facts and statistics about a particular topic, usually updated annually • encyclopedia - a collection of facts about many different topics • websites — information may include any of the above. Additionally, because so much information is available online, it is important to compare information from various sources to ensure its accuracy and reliability.

1. What types of sources are used in the article?
2. What information does each source give?
3. Where might you look if you wanted to consult those same sources to continue your own research?
