There are key differences between articles in scholarly journals and popular magazines. While articles in magazines and newspapers are written by journalists for a broad audience, articles in scholarly journals are written by scholars or experts within a particular subject, and are generally read by other experts or scholars and students like you. They present original research with the purpose of expanding current knowledge of a particular topic. Articles published in scholarly journals are often peer-reviewed before they are selected for publication. The publisher of a scholarly journal is often an academic press or professional organization.
