Scholarly books, articles, and essays are usually the best kinds of sources to use for a college research paper. Here are some of the major differences between scholarly and popular sources:
Scholarly Publications: | Popular Publications: |
![]() |
![]() |
Scholarly Sources: Article Titles | Popular Sources: Article Titles |
|

Scholarly publications often have titles that include words like: journal, quarterly, studies, review, bulletin, or society.
The title isn't always a dead giveaway, though. Please see What are peer reviewed journal articles and how would I find them? for some additional tips.
