I need a scholarly article!

Your instructor may tell you that you must use scholarly articles for your assignment. A scholarly article (or academic article, or peer reviewed article) is an article written by an expert in the field. If the article is peer reviewed, it has also gone through a review process and been reviewed by a panel of experts. Scholarly articles are published in scholarly journals, which are generally published by a university or a professional group.
