When using research resources,
it is imperative to review the six critical
questions and implement that data into your
writings.
Proper Resources for Research

A peer-reviewed article is one that has “been evaluated by several researchers or subject specialist in the academic community prior to accepting it for publication” and is “also known as scholarly or refereed.”
Your professor or the UC Librarian team can help you determine whether or not an article is peer-reviewed.
