activity 1.1:
Different Types of Sources

Instructions: This activity offers practice identifying the different types of sources used in academic research. It invites you to label the following list of citations based on the appropriate category for the types of sources they represent, asking:

Is the citation in the category of …

• • Academic journal articles
  • Blog posts
  • Books and Chapters in books
  • Conference proceedings
  • Data sets
  • Dissertations
  • News articles
  • Standards (professional, governmental, or other universal standards)
  • White papers and Research reports

Tips: There are two citations for each category above, and the first has been completed for you as an example — it is a data set, as indicated at the end of the citation in parentheses.

After you’ve sorted or labeled the whole set, help and feedback on this activity can be found at the end of this book in the Appendix 🙂
