Question One
Why are scholarly books and journals more reliable than popular sources?
Scholarly books tend to be a more comprehensive source of information as they are
written and reviewed by experts. The information that is in academic books has to be
substantiated and has to back by evidence and facts. Therefore, scholarly books and journals are
more reliable in giving credible information as they are based on research and supported by
evidence. At the same time, other sources maybe just an opinion, and peer review may not have
been done. Non-scholarly journal purpose may be to entertain or give an opinion (Kousha &
Thelwall, 2017).
Which one would you recommend to your boss, and why?
I prefer the use of scholarly journals and books to other sources. The reason behind it is
because scholarly journal gives an in-depth analysis of a particular issue backed by empirical
studies and research. Other sources may only provide a personal opinion that cannot be
substantiated and relied upon in making critical decisions.
Question Two
Describe the steps you followed to find the article
The first step is to log in to the university library account. The second stage is clicking on
the scholarly article, which is in box two. I will type ‘Leadership’ on the filed option and then
search as the third stage. To limit the number of peer-reviewed articles available, I will
customize search on years to the most recent ten years. The next step will be on narrowing search
on field options to ‘Employees Retention’ then click on the search icon. I will then choose an
appropriate journal, then click on P.D.F. to get the full text. The final step will be looking at
A.P.A. citation and double-checking on capitalization.
