User:  | Open Learning Faculty Member: 


The source of scientific information that I chose for this assignment is an article from Nature (cited below). This is an academic paper because it has in-text citations and a references section. The website for Nature states that articles are peer-reviewed (https://www.nature.com/authors/policies/peer_review.html). Also, the article has different dates for when it was received, accepted and published.

Soliveres, S., van der Plas, F., Manning, P., Prati, D., Gossner, M., Renner, S., Alt, F., Arndt, H., Baumgartner, V., Binkenstein, J., et al. (2016). Biodiversity at multiple trophic levels is needed for ecosystem multifunctionality. Nature [Internet]. [cited 2018 May 31]; 536: 456-459.
