Q. What is the difference between a popular magazine and a scholarly journal?

Scholarly journals, also referred to as peer-reviewed, contain original research articles by experts in their fields.  Popular magazines on the other hand contain articles of a general nature or about current events.  Popular magazines might also include references to the original research or articles presented in scholarly publications.  You can limit your results to peer-reviewed articles when conducting a search in our databases.  The video link below explains the difference between scholarly and popular publications.
