These resources are great tools for identifying scholars who write about topics that interest you.
If you're writing a paper where you need to cite scholarly articles or books, an article from The Conversation, Knowable Magazine, etc. won't count as a scholarly source. You'll want to find the original research article or book. (A librarian can help you do this!)
