Another article I have found that is related to my topic was found in the EBSCO Premier Academic Search engine. The article is titled Performance-Enhancing Drug Use in Baseball: The Impact of Culture, and was published in Volume 21, Issue 2 of the Ethics and Behavior Journal. The two authors of this piece, Joe Solberg and Richard Ringer, are both professors at Illinois State University. Professor Solberg obtained his J.D. from Loyola University School of Law and his B.B.A from the University of Notre Dame. At Illinois State he teaches in the areas of finance and ethical behavior and has published in multiple well known journals. Professor Ringer received his Ph.D. and M.B.A. from the University of Colorado, and also received his B.A. from Brigham Young University. While at ISU he teaches in the areas of leadership and organizational culture. From what I have been able to research, I believe that both these professors and the journal are credible sources to be using for my topic. This article is another great asset to my project because it not only has a lot of sources but has more than a sufficient amount of information that I can expand off of, which will hopefully help it to grasp the attention of my intended audience.
In the article, Solberg and Ringer start by explaining the background of steroids in general and transitioning that into how the players view the impact of steroids on their performance. They also imputed the impact of culture and how cultural values are reinforced in the MLB and how cultural issues imply intensity into the sport. This article was very well put together and was a great resource for my project, I hope to find many more just like it.

I'm glad that your EBSCO search yielded a helpful resource. Keep in mind that that thorough CRAAP analysis doesn't just center on the authors and the publication source. For your next credibility analysis, in addition to authority and accuracy, include answers to questions found under the currency, relevance, and purpose categories.
ReplyDeleteThink about how you can enhance your own credibility by supporting and explaining your observations. For example, what specific types of sources do they cite within their article or what topics are included in the "sufficient amount of information"?
Your summary is succinct and hits on two key concepts from the article. For your next summary, include a sentence that describes the main point or conclusion of the article.
