You may be wondering what is the difference between a Scholarly Source and a Peer-Reviewed Source?
A Peer-Reviewed Source is always considered a Scholarly Source, but not all Scholarly Sources are Peer-Reviewed. Basically, Peer-Reviewed Sources are a sub-category of Scholarly Sources.
To know whether your source is peer-reviewed check the journal or publication information by finding an "About this Journal" section or Google the journal. If you are in the Library Databases, click on the journal title or publication title link in the Detailed Record to find the publication info including whether it is peer-reviewed.
