Scholarly Periodicals vs. Non-scholarly periodicals

Scholarly Periodicals publish articles that are useful for serious scholastic research; often, instructors will insist that students use only scholastic periodicals for their research work. 

 Scholarly periodicals are also referred to as Academic Journals or Peer-Reviewed or   Refereed Journals.  "Peer Reviewed" and  "Refereed" mean that not only is the journal edited, but that every article included in the journal is reviewed by authorities in the subject field of the journal, to decide whether or not the article should be published.

 Some criteria of a scholarly journal or other scholarly periodical is:

   •     The journal is  mostly read by people  involved in or interested in the field  of study covered by the journal

     •     Articles are often lengthy, and include footnotes or endnotes and works cited  information

     •     Graphs, charts, statistical information, and tables are often used to support  the text or research

     •     The vocabulary is geared to the field of study covered by the journal 

     •     The articles are very often peer  reviewed (refereed)

  Non-Scholarly Periodicals publish articles that are not considered or meant to be of a highly serious, scholastic nature. 

 This is not to say that the articles in any given non-scholastic magazine or newspaper are false or badly written.  It only means that, for scholarly research purposes, non-scholarly periodicals do not have the recognized level of authority that a scholastic journal usually has.

 Some criteria of a magazine or other non-scholarly periodical is:

      •     The periodical appeals to a general  audience; the vocabulary is geared  to all readers

     •     Graphs, tables, and research studies  are seldom included

     •     The articles usually do not have  footnotes, endnotes, or  bibliographies (works cited)

     •     The articles tend to be short in length,   usually under 10 pages
