Sources of Scientific Information Reid Marriott T00716013

A) My source is an article on microplastics in fish and fishmeal.

Thiele, C. J., Hudson, M. D., Russell, A. E., Saluveer, M., & Sidaoui-Haddad, G. (2021). Microplastics in fish and fishmeal: an emerging environmental challenge? Scientific Reports, 11(1), 1–12.  https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-81499-8

B) Academic material peer-reviewed research material

C) It is academic material because it was written by experts on this topic, there are in-text citations, and there is a bibliography. It is peer-reviewed as there is a date that it was received, accepted, and then published. The TRU library also indicated that it is peer-reviewed. Lastly, it is research material as there is a methods and results section (Tutorial: How to evaluate, n.d.).

All the best,
