Explain at least five differences between popular and scholarly sources used in research.
Five differences between popular and scholarly sources are:
Popular sources use common vocabulary versus scholarly uses technical language specific to the field of study (Cendegas, 2015).
Popular sources contain advertisements, whereas scholarly contains charts or graphs to present data (Cendegas, 2015).
Scholarly sources contain bibliography and reference list and popular sources do not (Cendegas, 2015).
Scholarly sources are peer reviewed to ensure reliability of the information of people in the same field of study, whereas popular are only reviewed by editors for general interest or entertainment (Cendegas, 2015).
Scholarly journal articles are published in a standard format of containing: Abstract, Introduction, Methods & Materials, Results, Discussion and References (Cendegas, 2015).
Locate and summarize one peer-reviewed, scholarly source from the Ashford University Library and one popular source that pertain to your Final Paper topic. In your summary of each article, comment on the following: biases, reliability, strengths, and limitations.
A scholarly peer-reviewed source from the Ashford University Library is from Timothy Wunder on the largest age demographic who lives in poverty are children (2019). This source provide statistical data on the percentage of household in each income bracket are able to afford children and percentage of those living in poverty, which makes the information credible.
A popular source is from Newsweek article written by Asher Stocker in 2019 about a report released by the Congressional Budget office on effects of increasing minimum wage to bring people out of poverty. As a lot of great statistical data is published in the article it is bias towards supporting the candidates in the democratic party. Not to mentioned, the information could be taken out of context and the amount of advertisements caused a distraction.
From the sources you summarized, list and explain at least five visual cues from the peer-reviewed, scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source.
Five visual cues from the peer-review scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source:
All the data tables the source was provided with the table and within the references section of the article.
It followed the standard section formats like abstract, introduction, ect.
It contains a reference list.
Uses language that is specific to economics study
Contain no advertainments like the popular source did.

Explain at least five differences between popular and scholarly
sources used in research.
Purpose:
Poplar source's objective is to inform and entertain, while
4. scholarly sources share research, data, and ideas within the
academic community.
Audience:
Popular sources gravitate towards the general public, while
scholarly sources are primarily for researchers and scholars.
Authors:
Journalists, freelancers, editors, and staff writers are principal
authors of popular resources, while researchers and scholars are
authors for scholarly support.
Language:
Because popular resources are written for the general public,
the writing is made to easily read and understand with minimal
references. Academic resources use technical words, formal and
written in a specialized format for academia. Lastly, popular
sources tend to be less credible with notable mistakes because
they do not take months or years to publish as scholarly sources
do or peer-reviewed.
Locate and summarize one peer-reviewed, scholarly source from
the Ashford University Library and one popular source that
pertain to your Final Paper topic. In your summary of each
article, comment on the following: biases, reliability, strengths,
and limitations.
Towards a Smart Automated Society: Cognitive Technologies,
Knowledge Production, and Economic Growth:
This scholarly article illustrates statistical evidence between
the relationship between AI, the decline of jobs in the labor
market due to automation, and economic growth. The research
data compiled over a couple of years reflect an employment
downturn, even as it generates wealth, offsetting job loss with
cutting-edge jobs that require upskill in human abilities and
expertise. Because the article is substantial in data, there is no
evidence of bias or opinion-based writing, making it difficult to
read and understand. The article contains several technical
terms, ideas, and research limiting its target audience.
5. What Will Our Society Look Like When Artificial Intelligence
is Everywhere?
By Stephan Talty
:
This article engages in social issues stemming from the
creation and development of AI. The author implies AI could
one day bring about a dark future, like those illustrated in
popular sci-fi films. While you do not have to be a fan of sci-fi,
AI as a destructive force is baked in our culture with the likes
of Terminator, Bladerunner, I, Robot, and The Matrix. A dark
dystopian future. The author determines two possibilities with
polar opposite conclusions and a future we can plan for. While
the writing for this article was less formal, it was highly
captivating and entertaining. It was easy to read but was limited
to references to pop culture films.
From the sources, you summarized list, and explain at least five
visual cues from the peer-reviewed, scholarly source that was
not evident in the popular source.
The article contained an abstract, a summary that identifies the
purpose, problem, methods, results, and conclusion of the work.
The peer-reviewed article contained no creative illustrations
other than charts.
The peer-reviewed article contained references throughout the
article, in addition to a reference page.
The report was formatted professionally.
There were more than one or two notable authors with an
extensive background in their field.
