Individual Contributions to the Team Project

Remember for this assignment you are required to find the following as a minimum:

  • 2 new sociological sources (published in last 10 years)
  • 2 new semi-scholarly sources (published in last 2 years)
  • 2 new data sources (at least one of which is a map, graph, chart, or image for a slide in team Power Point presentation)

("new" meaning NOT used for previous course work)

Which of the following are scholarly, sociological, and which are neither?

Look at each of the articles linked below. With your group, determine if the following apply to each article:

  • Scholarly (Is the journal peer-reviewed? Is it at least 5 pages? Does it cite other sources? Is it an article instead of an opinion piece or review?)
  • Sociological (If it is scholarly, then does the author have a degree in sociology or a related field? Does the journal have sociology in the title?Is the journal published by the ASA?)
