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.
