Anatomy of a Scholarly Article

Do you ever wonder what's going on with the various sections of a scholarly journal article?

This video from North Caroline State University Libraries on "Anatomy of a Scholarly Article" helps learners identify the general purpose of each scholarly article section and what kind of information you're likely to find there.

Remember: skimming or selectively reading certain sections of a scholarly article can help you grasp its main message and whether it's useful-- then, if you think the article will be helpful for your research project, you can read it through more carefully later in your process.
