Scholarly
journals:
- Do not have to include the word journal
to be considered scholarly
- Are evaluated or peer reviewed by experts
in the subject field

- Most often use standardized formats (APA, MLA, Turabian,
etc.)
- Are academic and can be very technical; written in
scholarly language that is specific to the discipline
- Include articles which often have graphs, charts,
tables, data, and case studies that support their research
- Require every article to include a bibliography titled
References or Works Cited and may also include
footnotes or endnotes within the text. This is an excellent source for
locating further research.
- Include articles that qualify as a primary source
if the author(s) publishes the findings of original research or experimentation
- Include articles that are considered secondary sources
if the authors review research conducted by others in the field
