The paper I would like to use for analysis in this post comes from a well-recognized journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B and was placed in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. Pollination services enhanced with urbanization despite increasing pollinator parasitism. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. 2016;283(1833):20160561. doi:10.1098/rspb.2016.0561. by Theodorou P, Radzevičiūtė R, Settele J, Schweiger O, Murray TE, Paxton RJ.

This paper fits the classification: Academic, peer-reviewed research material.

The fact that it is written by two Master degree students and two supervisors with doctorate degrees who specialize on pollinators and effects affecting them; Both in-text citations and bibliography present we can conclude that it is an Academic material. By the fact that journal that published the paper includes acceptation and publishing dates we can assume that it is peer-reviewed. The presence of methods and results section with field techniques included indicates that this is a research material.
