Scholarly
vs. Popular Publications
Scholarly
journals usually follow these guidelines:
-
The word journal, archives, acta, society of, or annals
appear in the title
-
Sponsoring agency is often a scholarly association, a learned
society, or a research center.
-
Abstract describes the results and appears at the beginning
of each article
- Cited
references appear at the end of the article.
-
Journal is indexed in scholarly rather than popular databases.
-
Many scholarly journals are “refereed” or “peer-reviewed”
before they are published.
