difference between article and journal
When you search in the libraries’ home page, you’re searching across several databases , including collections of books, e-books, and films, along with individual databases – for example, JSTOR or ProQuest Research Library. Each database includes sources such as articles, government documents, and many more. You can search for databases by name using the “Databases” search on the libraries’ home page.
One of the most common types of sources is a journal . This word may be used interchangeably in some places with periodical or serial , but basically a journal is a publication that comes out in issues on a regular basis – for example, four times a year. An example is Feminist Economics:
Review articles, sometimes called literature reviews or secondary sources, synthesize or analyze research already conducted in primary sources. They generally summarize the current state of research on a given topic.
Here is a more detailed explanation of review articles.
The following characteristics list provides features of a Scholarly Article:
- Often have a formal appearance with tables, graphs, and diagrams
- Always have an abstract or summary paragraph above the text; may have sections decribing methodology
- Articles are written by an authority or expert in the field
- The language includes specialized terms and the jargon of the discipline
- Titles of scholarly journals often contain the word “Journal”, “Review”, “Bulletin”, or “Research”
- Usually have a narrow or specific subject focus
- Contains original research, experimentation, or in-depth studies in the field
- Written for researchers, professors, or students in the field
- Often reviewed by the author’s peers before publication (peer-reviewed or refereed)
- Advertising is minimal or none
Open access (OA) refers to free, unrestricted online access to research outputs such as journal articles and books. OA content is open to all, with no access fees.
There are two main routes to making research outputs openly accessible. One involves publishing articles or books via the OA route on a publisher’s platform (often referred to as gold open access). The other involves archiving a version of the manuscript in an OA repository (often described as green open access). Content published via the gold OA route is accessible immediately on publication, while manuscripts deposited via the green OA route may, in many cases, be made accessible only once a self-archiving embargo period has elapsed. The terms for onward sharing and re-use of OA content will depend on the licence under which it has been made available.
Example:
To write the the name of an article title in the body of your paper:
We are now offering a Click & Collect service from the Sydney Jones Library between 11am – 4pm Monday to Friday.
See Accessing Library Services Online for more information about our online services, support and updates about the reopening of the libraries
They can also be called “peer reviewed” or “scholarly” journals articles.
Library Search will also tell you when an article is Peer Reviewed by displaying a purple icon and the words “Peer Reviewed”.
