The publication is a scholarly journal.
The authors are scholars or professionals in the field and conduct original research.
The written article is submitted to a journal for review by the editor and a group of three - five peers who are considered experts in that subject.
If the reviewers agree that the article follows a standard research process, is of high quality with valid findings, the article will be accepted for publication in the journal.
If the article does not meet the standards, it will be rejected for publication.
Reminders
Not all journal articles are peer-reviewed.
You can find all three types of sources using the CCAC databases.
Book reviews and editorials are not considered scholarly, even if found in a journal.
Both magazine and journal articles can be good sources for your research.
