For this post, I have selected an ecological article titled “Warming and shifting phenology accelerate an invasive plant life cycle”. I found this article online in the journal Ecology, accessed through the UNBC library and available through Open Access. The link is: https://doi-org.prxy.lib.unbc.ca/10.1002/ecy.3219.
This article is classified as academic, peer-reviewed research material. The source shows that both authors Keller and Shea are affiliated with Pennsylvania State University, multiple in-text citations are used, and a bibliography is available at the end of the document. Therefore, it is an academic article. In the acknowledgements section of the article, three people are thanked for their feedback on the article. Therefore, I conclude that it was peer-reviewed. Finally, there is a methods section which describes a field study in the article. So, I can conclude that it is a research article. The article is linked as documentation supporting my classification.
