Academic journals are published much more frequently than books.
- they can respond to topical issues,
- publish the latest research and
- provide the most up-to date information.
Articles are generally shorter than books.
- articles can be more focussed
- cover narrower and more individual or specialised topics.
- can provide literature for a topic such as an essay or dissertation.
Academic Journals are peer-reviewed. This means that any articles published within them have been assessed for quality and accuracy by experts in the field.
Most articles in scholarly journals include a statement of methodology and a bibliography or list of references.
