Searching and Evaluating Scientific Resources

This week, you will find three scholarly, peer-reviewed research articles on your topic. Remember that next week you will submit a paper on Scientific and/or Mathematical/Analytical perspectives of inquiry, so use this week’s assignment to prepare materials and collect information for that purpose.

Use articles that will help you explain and describe scientific issues and/or statistical data or economic information related to your topic. You will analyze and evaluate these articles in your submission, which should include:

Three separate paragraphs, one for each of the three articles, each presenting:

  • A brief 3–4 sentence summary of the article (use in-text citations)
  • An explanation as to what makes this source credible (in the WCU Library go to Research Guides > Research Basics > Evaluating Resources)
  • An explanation of why the article will be useful in addressing your problem or issue

MUST USE CREDIBLE SOURCES FROM MY STUDENT PORTAL WHICH I WILL PROVIDE LOGIN INFO.
