a. The article I chose is Citizen Science in Ecology: A Place for Humans in Nature and the source is from the online TRU Library. The article is from the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences The link to the article is below:

b. Based on the tutorial, I classified the article as an academic peer-reviewed review article.
c. The article is academic due to the authors being experts in their field; I was able to click on each of the authors and see that all of the authors were affiliated with an academic institution, the School of Biological Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah (Figure 1). The article is also considered academic because it includes in-text citations and has a reference list (Figures 2 and 3). I was able to determine the article was peer-reviewed by the article having the publication history including the manuscript received date, the manuscript revised date, a version of online record date, and the online issue date (Figure 4). I was also able to refine my search in the online TRU Library to only search for articles that have been peer-reviewed which also helped to verify the article was peer reviewed (Figure 5). The article is a review article based on there being no methods or results section; the article also stated at the top that it was a review article (Figure 6).
