An academic source is a quality of work which seeks to clarify, explain, and extend concepts belonging to the topic and discipline. Academic sources include authoritative, formal, learned, etc. Instructors probably prefer academic sources because they are known to be credible. Non-academic sources can be found in popular magazines such as Newsweek. Non-academic sources are also found in movies and television. Non-academic sources are things like the Bible, book reviews, and articles used in class.
