Scholarly Journals Versus Popular Magazines?
In research, you may look at scholary journals and popular magazines. But of these two categories, scholarly journals carry more weight for a college research paper. Why?
Popular magazines like Time, People, and National Inquirer are not as reliable as scholarly journals because popular magazines do not have the same quality controls. Scholarly journals such as the American Communication Journal or the American Journal of Science demand more precision in research, with detailed citations and indepth explanation. Read this IMPORTANT comparison between the two kinds of periodicals~CLICK HERE~then answer these questions.

2. Name two more popular magazines (not mentioned above) and two other scholarly journals (not mentioned above).

1. I don't think there should be a difference between the two. I think if someone wrote it and their idea or concept is credible then it should be regarded as such without regard to which periodical division they are employed by.

Scholary journals are much more reliable than popular magazines. The material in a journal is written by an author who is an expert in his field.This material is also backed up with facts and research.
Two more popular magazines would be Better Homes and Gardens and Country Home. Two scholarly journals would include The Journal of Youth and Adolescence and Psychology Today.

I think that scholarly journals have more facts and popular magazines is based on other people decisions and critic views.

Most scholars do research on the given subject. Therefore info is more precise than a magazine that choses publicity over facts.

Scholarly journals are more indepth,provide more accurate information,and are longer than magazine articles.
Magazines usually are written so that anyone can understand them. They also use pictures instead of graphs or maps for advertizing purposes.

Scholarly Journals are more detailed than magazines and are a more reliable source, since they are written in jargon are are usually more structured. Magazines are more3 for entertainment and do not always have text under the pictures. Magazines market advertising and scholarly journals are for informative purposes.
Some popular magazines are Maxim, News Weekly and Readers Digest.
Two scholarly journals are Theatre Research International and Political Quarterly.

Magazines articles are written to attract people to the magazine and spark interest in topics mostly without reliable facts. Scholarly journals are written to provide useful information on a certain topic, and provide facts based on research and truth.
