Scholarly articles (published in scholarly journals) are reviewed by experts before they are published.
- Within scholarly journals, you may find different types of articles. For example, you may be required to find a scholarly article that is an original research article.
Popular articles (published in newspapers, magazines, and other sources) are not reviewed by experts, but may be extensively researched and/or fact-checked, depending on the publication.
