In this post I am going to evaluate two scholarly sources on how gluten effects the body.

The first scholarly article discusses the effects of a gluten-free diet on the skin's structure and function.
What is it's purpose?
The purpose of this piece is to provide information on a study done on patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, or a skin manifestation of Celiacs disease. The experiment done showed that two thirds of the patients tested on showed results of treatment after extracting gluten from their diet. Therefore the overall purpose of the study was to show how a gluten-free diet is effective in the treatment of the skin disorder.

How and Where is it Published?
It was published by BMJ, or the British Medical Journal, by academic review in England of April 2, 1977.

What kind of sources does it site?
The journal references 27 different sources. All of which being either other scholarly journals, published research, or other scientific novels. These references can be found in the reference list or throughout the journal itself.

Who is the author?
The authors are Christine I. Harrington and N. W. Read. Christine has a Ph. D and her own website called drchristineharrington.org. She also is the founder of Harrington Teaching and Learning Services LLC. N. W. Read was a bit more difficult to locate but one can assume based on the article that he/she has similar qualifications.

Who is its intended audience?
This journal is definitely intended for an audience with a great amount of knowledge in biology and other sciences. Most likely research scientists seeking out information.

How did I find it?
I found this journal through JSTOR, an academic database.

The second scholarly article is about the diagnosis and management of Coeliac disease in children.
What is it's purpose?
Because Coeliac disease does not occur commonly in childhood, the journal's purpose is to contribute to medical knowledge about properly recognizing and diagnosing the disease. It does this by showing the procedures done to recognizing it and explaining how and why it should be recognized as Coeliac disease.

How and Where is it Published?
Similar to the previous article, it was published in the British Medical Journal as well. This particular article was published at a later date of September 21, 1963.

What Kind of Sources does it Site?
This article references twenty one sources. Most of them being scholarly journals pertaining to pediatrics as the article is focused on the disease in children. These sources can be found scattered throughout the article as the information used from them is put to use.

Who is the Author?
The author is Douglas Hubble. Hubble is the author of Pediatric Endocrinology.

Who is the intended audience?
This journal is geared towards doctors and medical professionals to further their knowledge in properly recognizing and diagnosing children with Coeliac disease.

How did I find it?
I used JSTOR, an academic database, to search for scholarly articles having to do with gluten.
