In academic writing, the selection of scholarly research sources is a vital task. Academic sources should always be scholarly sources and they include online journal articles, published books and evidence-based research reports.

 For finding authentic scholarly sources, you can take help from some efficient search engines like Google Scholar, Google Books, Science.gov, ProQuest, JSTOR, PubMed and so on. You first need to jot down the important research terms and then with the help of these research terms you can get the full text of different online articles, online books and dissertation papers.

However, on a broader prospect, sources of research can be categorized into two areas – primary and secondary research sources. In primary sources, you will get first-hand data from those who are directly or indirectly related to the research topic – the data can be in the form of survey results, interview transcripts, office records and so on. Secondary data, on the contrary, are all from published scholarly sources. These sources are referred by the researchers and the students for writing their academic papers and other scholarly articles.

Academic writing is not just limited to finding the relevant materials and then implementing the information into legible content. Academic writing also helps to inculcate the habit of being thorough and precise to your work. Academic writing not only increases your knowledge but also opens up a door to boost your creativity.
