Generally, scholarly or academic journal articles share original ideas and research. They are written by experts and add to the understanding of a particular field of study.
Hundreds of scholarly journals from various fields are accessible through the library databases.
Most scholarly journals are peer reviewed. The peer review process subjects the article to a critical examination by experts in the field being discussed. This increases reliability and prevents misinformation from spreading.
