Blog Post 2: Sources of Scientific Information.

The paper that I chose is- The protective effectiveness of control interventions for malaria prevention: a systematic review of the literature. The paper is written by experts in the field associated with Malaria Research Unit, Institut Pasteur de Madagascar and  Institute for Biomedical Research of the French Armed Forces (IRBA), there are in-text citations and the paper also contains a bibliography. It is academic material that has been peer reviewed. The paper has methods and results so it is considered as a research article.

I found this article on F1000Research.com, so using the tutorial: How to Evaluate sources of Scientific Information I can say that this paper is an academic, peer reviewed research material.

One thought to “Blog Post 2: Sources of Scientific Information.”

  1. They key part here now that you know it is academic from the authors credentials and citations – how do you know it is peer reviewed – from the paper acknowledgements or some other area on the website?
