I reviewed the article Late-Season Survey of Bumble Bees Along Canadian Highways of British Columbia and Yukon Territories. The article was found using TRU’s online database and the topic and abstract seemed interesting to me.
- a) The source of this article is the Western North American Naturalist journal. (https://ezproxy.tru.ca/login?url=https://search-ebscohost-com.ezproxy.tru.ca/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=109305710&site=eds-live)
- b) The article in an academic, peer-reviewed, research article.
- c) This article is academic as it is written by experts in the field who are employed for ecological research groups and government agencies; in-text citations and a bibliography are present in the article. The article is peer-reviewed as evidenced by the inclusion of both ‘received’ and ‘accepted’ dates; googling the journal’s website shows that it is a peer-reviewed publication. Lastly, the article is a research article as data was collected by the authors and both a methods and a results section were included.
