 So now at this point coming back to that model that we had in place before Taking a look at how we want to have our sources speaking to our sub questions and our sub questions speaking to our inquiry question Once we get all those sub question drafted out We still need to kind of think about like what kind of sources are we going to be looking at before in relation to our Subquestions because depending on the type of question that you're going to be asking you might need some very different types of sources Plus there's always going to be the requirements of your assignment So for example, if I'm doing my my research on the BP impacts on great blue herons I'm going to be asking all those different questions where I'm going to be looking for some different data sources We're in some cases It's going to be government documents that are going to be telling me things about the policies and that kind of thing Then I might be looking for some scientific articles that take a look at some of the Impacts on wildlife and some scientific articles that talk about the habitat needs of great blue herons as well So I have a bunch of different things that I might be looking for I might even be looking for some engineering documents that talk about how the mitigation happens in terms of some environmental engineering topics and So I'm going to be looking also in some places I'm going to be looking for things that might be local government documents like Wacom County based documents some Other instances I might be looking for state documents like Washington State documents and then even federal documents as well That help to inform where I might be going with this particular topic It's important to keep in mind that these different sources will be speaking to those some questions in different ways And you have a couple different things that you might be pulling from in order to Accomplish what you need to so a peer-reviewed source that that's something where it has gone through a process That usually indicates that that information is going to be more reliable or is more trustworthy in some way So typically what happens with the peer-reviewed process is that somebody Who is either an expert or an emerging expert in a particular area will write an article send it into an editor who will send it out to Peer reviewers hopefully blind peer reviewers, but in some you know different journals have different ways that they go about doing this And they will basically indicate whether or not there's anything that needs to be fixed whether the article should be accepted whether the article should be accepted with revisions and they provide that information to the editor who sends it back to the person who wrote it and Sometimes the this can be a process that can take a while depending on The journal and the article itself as well and before something actually gets published So it's not like new sources where something can get published, you know within hours or or days It's going to take a little bit Longer because it's going through a much more rigorous review process where different experts are making sure that what is coming through Is going to be a little bit more reliable reliable now This is not a perfect process. So that's something to keep in mind. There are bad peer-reviewed articles out there So it's not totally perfect by any stretch of the imagination But it is something that means that those sources tend to be a little bit better Of course readings those can be good sources to be using because often times they're on your topic and they're oftentimes good scholarly sources Primary source not depending on the discipline you're in you might be viewing primary sources slightly differently and what the intention is here is that it's a Type of source that is like either raw data or information that comes directly from the source So for example, if I actually went out and conducted a study on the Great Blue Herons at Cherry Point and actually observed some of their Their habits and how they interact with their habitat that would be primary source data because it'd be data that I collected but it could also include other forms of data such as something where it could be a New story that comes from a particular time period it could be Testimonials that come from people who hadn't experienced with something where they are close to The topic so there's a number of different things that can be considered primary sources and they can again very Depending on that the discipline that you're talking about
