Scholarly and Popular Sources
Workplace Wellness Programs Could Be Putting Your Health Data at Risk by Ajunwa, 2017 is an article, and Health and big data by Ajunwa et al., 2016, is a research paper. The first paper by Ajunwa, 2017, targets employers and employees who engage in wellness programs. The second paper by Ajunwa et al., 2016 paper targets vendors of wellness programs by providing costly programs. The intended audience affects language, image, and organization in that for articles, the language is information and often uses casual photos, and the organization is simple. For peer-reviewed articles, the communication must be formal, images must be accurate, and the organization follows a standard pattern.
One person writes the first paper and while several people write the second one. The primary source is more of opinions by some whose data is skeptical and has no proof that they are correct. The second paper, which is the research paper, is based on empirical evidence done experientially by the authors and analyzed. There is no editorial in the first article, while several editors have reviewed the second one. This renders the second article more credible source because the information has been proven to be right.
The first article is not reliable because it is an opinion by an individual which is subject to bias. I would use the first one when giving a belief in an open discussion in school, home, and at work. This is because these avenues give room for correction and expression of ideas. The term and research papers require objective proof of what is being said. Thus, peer-reviewed is used. I would use the second article when doing term papers and research assignments.
