  • 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.
