A scholarly article, also known as an academic article, is a publication in an academic journal that presents original research, analysis, or reviews related to a specific academic discipline. These articles are written by experts or scholars in the field and are intended for an audience of other experts or academics. Scholarly articles are characterized by their use of technical, discipline-specific vocabulary, verifiable and reliable evidence, and may undergo a peer review process where other experts in the field evaluate the content for accuracy and relevancy before publication. They are often longer and more detailed than popular articles, and they are a valuable resource for academic research and learning.
