Course Project-Source Summary

The purpose of this assignment is to learn about information literacy by exploring the concept of peer review. You may be familiar with peer review in prior writing courses, but what does it mean when you talk about peer review in relation to academic source material?

The PDF presentation contains 20 slides that will introduce the peer review cycle.

After reviewing the presentation, compose a 2-paragraph response in which you address each of the following points:

Now that you understand how academic journals use the peer review process, explain whether the research article you are summarizing this week was peer reviewed?

How can you determine whether your source was peer reviewed?

As you work on your research in this class, where specifically can you look to find peer-reviewed sources?
