Scholarly versus Non-scholarly Sources
Academic Journals Academic journals
are characterized by their limitations to academic
disciplines or sub-disciplines. They are intended to
present original research or analysis. Their appearance
is simple with graphics rarely used, and, if graphics
are used, they support a point made in the article. The
articles often use technical language and are generally
lengthy, with all the sources cited. The topics are
commonly specialized for the field and written by
scholars or researchers in the field. The audiences are
usually other scholars and researchers in the chosen
discipline, people with knowledge of the subject.
