What are academic / scholarly sources?

Scholarly books and articles are written by experts such as your professors. Before a book or article is published, the draft goes through a process of peer review, in which other experts review it for accuracy and originality. Scholarly books and articles are best located using library catalogues and databases that provide full-text access without fees.
