With a collection as large and diverse as Cornell's it is often difficult to distinguish between the various levels of scholarship found in the collection. In this guide we have divided the criteria for evaluating periodical literature into four categories:.

Popular means fit for, or reflecting the taste and intelligence of, the people at large. Sensational is defined as arousing or intending to arouse strong curiosity, interest or reaction. Keeping these definitions in mind, and realizing that none of the lines drawn between types of journals can ever be totally clear cut, the general criteria are as follows. Scholarly journals are also called academic, peer-reviewed, or refereed journals.

Strictly speaking, peer-reviewed also called refereed journals refer only to those scholarly journals that submit articles to several other scholars, experts, or academics peers in the field for review and comment. These reviewers must agree that the article represents properly conducted original research or writing before it can be published. These periodicals may be quite attractive in appearance, although some are in newspaper format. Scholarly Articles and Journals. Home Popular vs.
