• Select a peer reviewed article on a psychology topic (psychology applied to critical care nursing). Next, search the Internet and locate an article related to the same topic.
• Reflect on the sources of both articles and evaluate the sources of each article to determine if they are scholarly or non-scholarly. Consider the following questions:
o Would this author have a reason for bias?
o Is this source old, or is it up to date (i.e., published within the past 5 years)?
o Is the source peer-reviewed? (Do other researchers regard it as trustworthy; did other researchers review it in order for it to be published, or is it an opinion piece?)
o Does this source cite other scholarly references?
• Describe the two articles you found and how they are related to your area of specialization in your program. (Minimum one paragraph per article.)
• Compare and contrast the two articles and explain the differences you noticed between them. In your explanation, evaluate each article in terms of whether each article is a scholarly or non-scholarly source. For each article, explain why and how you made the determination.
• Explain how the use of peer review articles will improve the arguments in your scholarly writing. As a professional in the field of psychology, which article would you use as evidence to support your ideas?
• Provide in-text citations and a reference list following APA form and style for all sources used in your paper. Your reference list should include your two selected articles and must include the URL and/or DOI of the articles.
