Evaluating Sources-Eric Breedlove

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195666305000218

The first source I found was from google scholar.  The author's for this source are all from the Department of Psychology in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  This publication was a research report on the topic of dieting.  I think this source is very credible since there are multiple corresponding authors.  This means there were different people of all equal education that helped find the right information and record it in the paper.  I think this source is very appropriate for my project, and I could use it as a reliable source.  The reason for this is because it is peer reviewed by people of high education in the subject matter.

Then next source I found was from the Virginia Tech library website.  The author's for this source were all professors from different Universities.  All of the author's are highly qualified to write and make changes to the article since they are all very knowledgeable on the subject matter.   The publisher for the article is Cambridge University Press.  The publisher being a press could hurt the credibility of the article, except that it was peer reviewed by highly educated people before published.  Therefore, I think this is a credible source and I could reference it for my project.
