- Scholarly versus popular sources
/ 1.0 Points
How do you decide if the article you are reading is appropriate to include in your Recreation and Leisure assignments?
First, some terminology. Periodical means something that is published repeatedly. A magazine that is published once a
month is a periodical. Journals and newspapers are also periodicals. A book that is published once is not a periodical, it
is a monograph.
When you search in SuperSearch, you will see results from all sorts of publications: magazines, academic articles,
theses, books, reports, and more! Learn how to distinguish between scholarly and popular resources in the following
video:
POPULAR
SCHOLARLY
intended for a general audience and are not usually
written by researchers or professors
the author's name and a²liation may not be given
no abstract at the beginning of articles
seldom contain footnotes or a bibliography
articles are often enhanced with glossy photos or other
illustrations
articles are often short - fewer than 5 pages
often full of advertising
examples:
The Economist, Time, Maclean's, Psychology
Today, Newsweek
written for an academic audience and uses
specialized vocabulary
author' credentials and institution will be identi±ed
usually an abstract at the beginning of articles
footnotes and/or a bibliography
may contain charts and tables but generally not
glossy photos or other graphics
articles will usually be longer than 5 pages
journals contain little or no advertising
examples:
Journal of Communication, Journal of
Sport Management, Lancet

- What is peer review?
/ 1.0 Points
Peer reviewed articles have been evaluated by several researchers or subject specialists in the academic community
before they are accepted for publication in a journal or other scholarly work.
Watch this video to learn more about peer review:
How can I tell if a journal is peer reviewed?
If you're searching for articles in SuperSearch or a library database, you can usually limit your search to peer-reviewed
sources by selecting a tab or checking a box on the search screen.
If you're looking at the journal itself, on the journal website look at the editorial statement or instructions to authors
for references to the peer review process

- What are databases?

A database is searchable collection of information.

the open web. The library pays for access to these databases.
SuperSearch
is a great database for getting started, especially for multi-disciplinary topics. If you want to get more
focused results, try subject-speci±c databases such as Leisure and Tourism. Check out the
Recreation and Leisure
Research Guide
for more database recommendations.

- Find a Book or Article From a Citation
/ 2.0 Points
So you have a reference, also called a citation, and you need to get your hands on the actual article.
Knowing what information is included in a citation will help you track it down. This citation below looks like an article in a journal. In a
journal article citation, you can generally identify these elements: one or more authors, the title of the article, the title of the journal itself,
the volume and issue number for the journal, page numbers and date of publication.
One really quick way to find citations is to use SuperSearch on the Library website. Copy the title of the article and paste it in
SuperSearch search box.
Here it is!
Clicking on HTML Full Text or PDF Full Text will take you to the full text of the article. Sometimes you will see other options, such as "Full
Text Online". Clicking this will take you to a page with options to access the full text of the article.
Question 10 of 12

When you're trying to ±nd an article, the most important part of a citation is the title of the

Crime Media Culture, 6
(3), 329-345.
