The source I chose for this post, “Soil bacterial communities exhibit systematic spatial variation with land form across a commercial potato field”, is an Academic, peer-review research paper. I found this paper online published by ELSEVIER Which is a major publisher for scientific content that uses peer review. The first three people on the paper Neupane, Goyer and Zebarth all have PhDs, and either belong to a university or work for the government of Canada, so I would assume they have the required expertise in the field. The paper includes a bibliography, in-text citations, a methods section and a results section. All these features indicate an academic peer reviewed research paper.
