What is a scholarly source?
A scholarly source is material written by an expert or experts (scholarly articles will often have multiple authors) in a given discipline. If a journal is peer reviewed, that means scholars in the same discipline reviewed the material and made comments or suggested edits before it could be published; this process ensures that the information is more credible than a website found on Google or a posting on Instagram.
