McPherson, Miller, Smith-Lovin, Lynn, and Cook, James M. 2001. Birds of a Feather: Homophily in Social Networks. Annual Review of Sociology 27: 415-444. http://www.leonidzhukov.net/hse/2017/networkscience/papers/McPherson_HomophilyInSocialNetworks.pdf.
The article is an academic, peer-reviewed review because the authors are subject matter experts, academics associated with several universities; the piece is printed in a peer reviewed journal based on information provided on the process for publication for authors in the Annual Review of Sociology’s website (https://www.annualreviews.org/page/authors/author-instructions/submitting/publication-timeline); and, it is a review as opposed to research because there is no methods or results section, the content of the piece does not seek to answer a research question.
