Popular sources focus on colorful images, whereas scholarly resources concentrate on information and do not contain any image barring graphs if needed (Cendejas, 2015). Popular sources do not include references or works cited pages, even though they borrow ideas from others. In contrast, scholarly sources have a reference page, or works cited page and have citations of all those ideas that have been borrowed. Scholarly articles are research works of scholars who have their credentials mentioned in the article, whereas popular articles can be written by any writer who need not be a scholar (Cendejas, 2015).
