You can only use journal articles as sources for your academic writing.

Which of the following is NOT important for an academic source.

The text should have been peer reviewed to check for accuracy.

The author should be qualified in the topic of the text.

The text should contain citations and references to other reputable texts.

The text should contain a lot of technical language.

Wikipedia is ok to use for background understanding of a topic but shouldn't be used as a source for a piece of academic writing.

Each paragraph in your writing should contain at least two sources.

All sources need a citation and corresponding reference in the reference list.

Using primarily textbooks as sources is good practice.
