Q. How do I know a "research" article from a "professional" article?

If you're using JEWL Search (which searches many different databases), you'll see a check box on the left once you get your results.  

Select Scholarly (peer reviewed) as the first step to narrow to research articles. 

Even amongst those results, some are reporting original research (done by the authors) while others are summarizing work of other researchers.

• Most original or primary research articles will have specific sections such as Introduction, Methods, Discussion, Conclusion, etc. 
• Professional articles are typically shorter and discuss trends or new methods without original research results.
