    Scholarly Journals
    • Are periodical publication, peer reviewed academic journals to promote
    science and report new discoveries in wide range of disciplines.
    • Articles are highly technical, compact and dense e.g. Nature, Science
    etc.
    • Generally a research article contains “an abstract, Introduction (including
    background for the research), methods, results, discussion, and finally
    the conclusions”.
    • Quality of a journal will be checked through its impact factor.
