Scholarly articles or peered-review are:

• Written by experts – look for the author’s credentials or affiliations.
• Written for other experts or people in academia.
• Use scholarly language with technical terms, discipline-specific vocabulary.
• Provide a bibliography of sources used in their research.
• The articles may be peered-reviewed. Many journals go through an editorial process where other experts review and assess the information.
