The previous
page explained the difference between scholarly and popular
periodicals.
Now that you know the characteristics that make these types of publications
different, you should be able to differentiate one from the other.
Still not sure? Here are a few clues from the publications' appearance
and content that may help you distinguish scholarly from popular.
These clues aren't steadfast rules, though, and exceptions abound
in both categories. If you are not sure whether a particular publication
is scholarly or popular, ask your professor or a librarian.
Periodical:
A publication that
is issued on a regular basis, such as a magazine or journal.
