Journal articlesJournal articles are published in different kinds of periodicals, such as trade magazines or scholarly journals. They are usually shorter compared to other scientific publications, such as research reports. In most fields, scholarly journal articles are considered to have the highest scientific value of all publication types. One reason for this is that before journal articles are published, they are reviewed by other researchers within the same discipline. This process is called 'peer review'. Bear in mind that the time between writing an article and when it is published can take up to two years, so some facts may become outdated. There are different types of scholarly articles:
A peer-reviewed original article usually follows a specific layout, including the following elements. ABSTRACTIn an abstract, a short summary of the article is provided, presenting the aim, method, results and conclusions of the article. Keywords are also provided to help identify the contents of the article. INTRODUCTIONAn article usually starts with a general background. The aim and research questions are presented as well as the limits of the study. METHODIn the method section, the methodology, and in some cases the material used, are described. The description provided should be detailed enough so that other researchers will be able to assess the reliability and credibility of the study and be able to repeat the research. RESULTSThe research results are accounted for in this section. Diagrams and tables may also be included. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONSIn this section, the results of the study are evaluated. Methodological considerations and how the results relate to earlier research are discussed. REFERENCESAll cited documents included in the article must be found in the reference list.
