How the hell is dictionary and government data not a scholarly source?
English
-
Scholarly sources are ones that come from people with a certain level of expertise on a specific subject. Often research papers, or articles and books published by "experts" in that field. I believe the intent is to force students to do deeper research than just copy/pasting from a dictionary or encyclopedia.
-
I suppose that's a good reason. But wouldn't something like a dictionary for sociological terms or statistics from a federal agency on public opinion during different time periods be good scholarly sources, given the topic and context?
-
In most cases, absolutely. But these types of assignments commonly omit them as sources for whatever reason. Not really a big deal though because any scholarly resource is going to give you everything you can find in a dictionary and more within the first paragraph or so.

True enough
-
Sociological scholarly academics are the only ones accepted.

Key Word: Sociology.
