Scholarly Journals Versus Popular Magazines

Scholarly journal, also called as academic/scientific/refereed journal or very often peer-reviewed journal, is a peer-reviewed/refereed periodical in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published. Academic journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for scrutiny of new research, and the critique of existing research (Blake & Bly, 2000).

The correlation is that since this journal’s purpose involves medical personnel, the audience reading the journal ultimately will be these professionals and students further in their medical education than us. Moreover, journals may hone in on certain topics, however, The Postgraduate Medical Journal, offers a vast variety of topics within the journal meaning that there is no distinct field of medicine that is focused on this journal; this leads us to the next aspect of analyzation of the journal: function in the

Considering the content of the magazine is related to the arts, the cover of the magazine usually features actors promoting upcoming film or television projects. The most recent edition of the magazine features celebrity Rebel Wilson on the May 8th edition promoting her upcoming film “Pitch Perfect 2”. Similar to the current issue, the May 1st edition featured actor Tom Hardy promoting the film “Mad Max: Fury Road’. Having celebrities on the cover (usually in character from the film they are promoting) helps generate interest with the readers. The articles are visual, featuring pictures of the subject. The magazine articles are colorful, frequently featuring different colored font making it visually appealing to the reader.

There are a vast variety of publications for just about every profession. These publications range from anything to scholarly journals, magazines, and online blogs.

Have you ever thought about what people back in the day read in their spare time since we all just immediately get on our phones? I compared and contrasted the August 2015 Time magazine, and the June 4th 1864 edition of Harper’s Weekly. I have come to the realization that when people say times have changed, they are not kidding. It is crazy to read in between the lines and see how Americans lived over 150 years ago. The way things are placed and discussed are very different in both Harper’s Weekly and Time Magazine, but the two are similar in some ways also.

While I was reading the overview for chapter 9, the words “academic journals” struck out at me because I have been familiar with academic journals since I was a senior in high school.

Scholarly source and magazine articles may share a common level of knowledge on a certain article topic; some magazine articles can be written by a journalist with an extensive knowledge on the article subject (Academic Journals, n.d.). Some magazine articles are to inform the public on its

Nowhere in this piece does he even remotely take a critical perspective about journals, and that is probably a big black hole that isn’t discussed. I want to pay closer attention to this in the article I read because I think it might be a gaping hole in the scholarship about journals. People who use journals believe in their power, but there is seldom a consideration for people who just don’t like writing in journals, for good

The American Sociological Association also publishes fourteen scholarly journals, including the top-ranked journal in sociology American Sociological Review. These general interest publications are accompanied by a handful of specialty journals and magazines that dive into topics such as mental health and sociology. The site also features journaling resources for prospective authors, as well as detailed information about how many articles are rejected after the peer review process, and the board providing the review

Academic publishing is something that many people will experience at some point, either in school or at their job, and some of whom are being paid to publish in academic journals. When published in academic journals, to read the papers, those interested would need to buy an expensive subscription and annually renew it. However, this is starting to take a toll on many universities and researchers around the world because they do not have the past research that others performed to base their future research on. Michael P. Taylor’s “Opinion: Academic Publishing is Broken,” addresses the fact that many people do not have access to academic literature, due to the high cost of purchasing subscriptions for the academic journals, and that is

So scholarly writing would be writing related to learning or learned people. The sources we are using are obviously scholarly and academic, but what we are writing in our classes is also academic writing by that definition. When I enter my writing for review, I usually mark it as a personal narrative. But, because we are entering a time with our classes that requires us to start writing in essay style, I will start marking my writing as essay writing. This should help because the feedback will be from an essay

The results and findings were clearly explained and examined all aspects of the study. Langer (2002) gives a clear table indicating the demographic variables of ten students who took part in the study. The nine interview questions offered a review of how the students responded toward the use of journals in the course. Some common themes emerged from the journal readings and interview question responses. The implications of the results and findings were

When deeply analyzing the pros and cons between primary and secondary sources, there arises an evident argument that divides like the red sea; can an article be entertaining and academic at the same time while still fulfilling all the goals in which a primary source can carry out? Both primary and secondary articles, when broken down, deliver the same information. The difference is in the diction and the syntax

For this research, the unit of observation are magazines as obviously will be making my observations in magazines. What are the reasons for choosing this medium? Convenience, easy to secure, and also it is quite easy to analyse compared to other mediums. However, there is one important criterion for magazines, such as they have to be in English language as it will be important in identifying gender stereotyping in the writing. Though, there are criteria that are not important to me such as the genre (men’s and women’s magazine) and also, the magazines will not be filtered in terms of their release date

The investigation will also analyze the students learning journals and identify material that contain the content, formatting style and subject matter. This review will also concentrated on the significance points
