Background information on peer-reviewed empirical research:

· Peer-reviewed: an academic article that is reviewed by peers who are experts on the subject. Peer review ensures that the research is done well. Most academic journals are peer-reviewed, meaning that all articles published in those journals are reviewed by peers (Steinheimer, 2021). There are different types of peer-reviewed articles: social theory, empirical, systematic reviews of the field, meta-studies, etc.

· Empirical research articles: "An empirical research article reports the results of a study that uses data derived from actual observation or experimentation. Empirical research articles are examples of primary research." (Education *: Identify Empirical Articles). To identify empirical research articles, they usually have sections for methods, results, and discussion. The discussion section will usually explain the findings in relatively plain terms. Sociology research methods are often surveys, interviews, focus groups, or participatory research methods.
