Do not use blogs, websites, business sites, etc. Use only scholarly resources.
Scholarly sources are written by academics and other experts and contribute to knowledge in a particular field by sharing new research findings, theories, analyses, insights, news, or summaries of current knowledge.
Scholarly sources can be primary or secondary research and come in many different formats, including books, articles, and a few websites; there is sometimes a difference between scholarly and peer-reviewed articles; all peer-reviewed sources are scholarly, but not all scholarly sources are peer-reviewed.
