Scholarly vs. popular sources for articles
"When conducting research it is important to distinguish between journal articles and magazine articles.
- Journal articles are typically referred to as "scholarly"
- Magazine articles are usually considered "popular".
- "Trade Magazines" or "Trade Journals" are written for professionals in a particular field but are not strictly research-related"
