The online paper I found is titled Prioritizing weed species based on their threat and ability to impact on biodiversity: a case study from New South Wales (Downey et al., 2010). This paper was accessed online from https://caws.org.nz/PPQ2526/PPQ%2025-3%20pp111-126%20Downey.pdf
This paper is considered an academic peer-reviewed research paper.
This paper is written by experts in the field. The authors are from institutions that include government (i.e., Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water) and universities (Institute of Applied Ecology, University of Canberra).
In-text citations are present throughout this research paper and a list of all sources used is present at the end of the paper. “Weeds have been widely acknowledged as posing a threat to biodiversity (Humphries et al. 1991, Adair and Groves 1998, Byers et al. 2002, Richardson and van Wilgen 2004, Coutts-Smith and Downey 2006).”
This source has also been reviewed multiple people and a referee as outlined in the Acknowledgment section, “We thank the following people who made useful comments on an earlier version of the text and the model, being Pete Turner, Moira Williams, Stephen Johnson, Bruce Auld and John Hodgon and a referee.”
This paper is also written around a particular study which includes a methods and a results section to report their findings.
All of these components combined make this paper an academic peer-reviewed research material.
