Scholarly Journals for the Arts and the Humanities & Social Sciences

Journals are published faster than books, and contain current original research in your field. Scholarly articles are written for a specialized audience, by experts in the discipline. In contrast to newspaper and magazine articles, journal articles will usually contain:

• Introduction
• Research Methodology
• Author Credentials
• Footnotes and Bibliography

Scholarly journals are sometimes referred to as "peer reviewed" or "refereed."
