In addition to using the articles available through Opposing Viewpoints, return to Academic Search Premier and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection to search for scholarly articles.

Scholarly articles are research articles that are reviewed, authored, and published by experts or researchers in a given field of study. People who work, conduct research, or study in a given field or discipline depend on this literature to follow current trends, thinking and discoveries. Since scholarly articles are written for a special audience, they are notably different from articles published in general interest or popular magazines.
