What is a Scholarly Article?

1.
Consult the chart:

The chart on the back lists the general criteria for determining what type of periodical article you have. Keep in mind that some articles do not meet all the criteria. When in doubt, consult a Reference Librarian or your instructor.
2.
Limit your database search to academic, scholarly, or peer reviewed journals:

Many databases allow you to limit your search to academic, scholarly, or peer reviewed journals (terminology varies between databases). Although limiting provides a preliminary filter, not all articles within a scholarly journal are scholarly, so you will need to evaluate each article individually against the criteria in the chart.
3.
Ask a Reference Librarian:

Please feel welcome to come to the Reference Desk on the second floor of the library and talk to a reference librarian. We can help you find a scholarly article or determine whether an article you have is scholarly.
4.
Are "peer reviewed" and "scholarly" the same thing?

Peer reviewed journals require that articles are read and evaluated by experts in the field before they are accepted for publication. Although most scholarly journals are refereed or peer reviewed, some are not. Generally instructors are happy with either peer reviewed or scholarly articles, but if your article HAS to be peer-reviewed, you will need to find that information in the front of the journal, or use Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory (Reference Z6941 U5) located behind the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the library. Look up your title and look for the Document Type: Journal, Academic/Scholarly. Articles that are peer reviewed will have an arrow to the left of the title

and what is website ?

A website (or web site) is a collection of related web pages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed with a common domain name or IP address in an Internet Protocol-based network. A web site is hosted on at least one web server, accessible via the Internet or a private local area network.
A web page is a document, typically written in plain text interspersed with formatting instructions of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML, XHTML). A web page may incorporate elements from other web sites with suitable markup anchors

The most differents between a scholarly jouraly artcle and website is A journal article is a

scholarly article published in a journal (which is like a magazine for a specific profession). Journal

articles are generally what you shoudl reference for school and college essays etc as they have

been approved for publishing. A website can be unmoderated and as such could have information

that is completely inaccurate. Websites are just the online pages that contain information on

anything.
