Scholarly Journals
What is a scholarly journal and how is it different from a magazine or newspaper? All three are called periodicals because they are published at periodic intervals throughout the year.
Newspapers are the first draft of history, but are not scholarly.
Magazines are good sources of information or opinions about popular culture or up-to-date information on current events.
Scholarly or peer-reviewed journals have collections of articles written by experts in academic or professional fields.
Such journals are excellent for finding out what has been studied or researched on a topic, and to find bibliographies that point to other relevant sources of information. Please note: the word "journal" is not necessarily in the title of a scholarly publication.

What is the difference between scholarly and peer reviewed?
Scholarly: A publication is regarded as scholarly if it is authored by experts, for experts. The publication is academic in focus as it reports original research. Generally, scholarly journals are targeted for professional or academic researchers and provide detailed analysis concentrating on a single discipline or academic field. The publication will likely be refereed by external reviewers. The publisher is typically a professional association or an academic press.
Peer Reviewed: Prior to publication, articles go through a rigorous assessment that involves review and approval by the author’s peers who are experts in the same subject area. The peer review and evaluation system is utilized to safeguard the quality of scholarly content. Remember, just because a journal is peer reviewed does not guarantee that all articles in it are included in the peer review process. Some article types, such as news items, editorials and book and article reviews, may not be peer reviewed.
