AP Seminar: Academic vs. Popular Sources

What articles are acceptable to use?

What articles are acceptable to use? Explanation of peer-reviewed research and the types of research articles your instructor wants you to use in your papers.

Academic Sources

For your paper, you will have to support your theories about your topic with academic research articles instead of more prevelent popular sources.

"Academic" and "popular" are terms used to describe a source's content, purpose, audience and more. Popular sources are useful for getting ideas for a topic or for background and anecdotal information. They written for a general audience, and use non-technical language.

Typically, however, you should support your arguments by citing scholarly academic articles, which contain original research written by experts. Peer reviewed research consists of articles written by scholars, usually describing a study or experiment, and published in scholarly/academic journals for other researchers to read. Before published, the articles are vetted by other scientists to ensure accuracy and adherance to scientific and ethical standards.

Watch the video below for more information about telling the difference between something from a scholarly journal and a popular publication.

Popular vs. Academic Chart

If you're not sure of an article you've found for your paper, check it against this chart to determine its appropriateness.

Peer-Review vs Academic

How does peer review work?

A journal has a group of experts (peers) check submitted primary research articles for problems in accuracy, logic, methodology, etc. The author receives feedback and may be able to make corrections, or the article may be rejected. If the research is original, valuable, and meets the scope of the journal, it is published. Authors are not paid, as in commercial magazines or "trade journals."

Are all articles in an academic journal peer-reviewed research articles?

No. Journals also publish other items. Some article types are listed below. While these articles can be very important and reputable, they cannot be considered primary research articles undergoing peer-review. If you have access to our databases (on-campus or off-campus with your MyID), click for examples .

How to include research from AP research on application

Is there any way for me to include the independent research work I've done on my application if it was for the class AP Research. Would it count as an activity cause it was technically done for a class but I had to do a lot of work and data collection outside of class. If not as an activity, then where can I bring it up? In an essay? But does doing this independent research project look less impressive to colleges just because it was for a class? Or would just colleges seeing that I got the AP capstone diploma be enough?

Earn karma by helping others:

While the AP Capstone diploma will look impressive regardless, if you feel particularly proud of the work you did for AP Research, there are several ways to include it in your application. First, even though it was technically for a class, if you don't have 10 more impressive activities, you can just go ahead and put it in your CommonApp resume. You could also write about it in your essays. Finally, you could reference it in your CommonApp Additional Information Section. While your decision whether or not to write about it in depth probably won't make or break your applications, any substantial, completed research project and paper should look relatively impressive to admission officers regardless of whether it was for a class or not. If you feel you did excellent and meaningful work, you definitely don't lose anything by explaining it somewhere in your application.

There should be a section in the drop-down for activities that says something along the lines of "research".If it's something that required a lot of data and gathering (which it sounds like), then I don't see any harm in adding it. If it's important enough that you want to write your essay about it, then go for that as well! I think colleges want to see how motivated you were when it came to this research; be sure to specify that it wasn't just for a grade, but something that you're passionate about :)
