Is your source a magazine, or a journal? A magazine article is intended to be read by a general audience, may be less authoritative, and probably does not have footnotes or an extensive bibliography. A scholarly journal uses language specific to the topic, has fewer graphical elements and advertisements, and is well referenced with notes and a bibliography. Journal articles are generally reviewed for accuracy by subject experts - this is known as "peer review." See the journal section for journal citation examples.
