What is a scholarly journal article?

In order for a research field to develop, research results must be tested and disseminated. Therefore, it is imperative to be updated concerning recent results within that particular research area. This can be done by reading scholarly journals.

Peer review
A scholarly journal has a board of referees (or reviewers) who are experts within their field. They evaluate the quality of submitted articles (academically, as well as its content and language) and if the article suits the journal's subject matter. By this scrutiny articles may be admitted for publication, revised by the author or rejected. This process is called peer review and its purpose is to guarantee the scientific quality. Journals with a peer review system may include either refereed articles exclusively or a mix of refereed and non-refereed articles. Non-refereed articles might be commentaries, book reviews or debate articles. Scholarly articles can be of different types: Original articles present the results of research (in the form of empirical studies) for the first time. Review articles are critical evaluations of other published studies. Theoretical articles develop new theories from already existing research.
