Select a scholarly (peer-reviewed) journal article (no older than 2018) relevant to Homeland Security or Homeland Defense from the APUS Online Library. You will conduct an article review of that scholarly journal article. It must be related to the course or course materials but should not be one of the provided course readings. The intent is for students to do some external research away from the provided references and find an article in the APUS Online Library. Students should search the library’s online databases, such as ProQuest, EbscoHost, and others, to find scholarly or peer-reviewed articles. Web addresses, blogs, news sites, magazines, and testimonies are not scholarly. Stick to what you find in one of the journal search engines in the library, and not what you find when you do a simple search on the Internet.

Additionally, the review of the journal article is an evaluation of the article’s strengths, weaknesses, and validity. You will use this to decide the article’s value through your explanation, interpretation, and analysis. Use the required elements below as headings in your paper.
