I found an ecology research paper in the online library (Cooke et al., 2016).
a) Cooke, J., DeGabriel, J. L., & Hartley, S. E. (2016). The functional ecology of plant silicon: Geoscience to genes. Functional Ecology, 30(8), 1270–1276. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.12711
b) This paper is academic peer-reviewed review-material
c) This is academic because it is written by experts in the field associated with the Department of Earth, Environment and Ecosystems, The Open University, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, Western Sydney University, York Environmental Sustainability Institute and University of York. There are in text citations and a bibliography. It does not have a “method” or “results” section so therefore would be considered a review article. There are no acknowledgments of a peer review process but the website for the British Ecological Society has a review process for the Functional Ecological journal.
Nice post, short but you covered all the points clearly.
