Long Civil Rights Movement: Long Civil Rights Movement is an argument advanced by American historian Jacquelyn Dowd Hall.  It was proposed in the article "The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Political Uses of the Past" within "The Journal of American History" in 2005.  Dowd had used the term in an earlier article titled, "Broadening Our View of the Civil Rights Movement" within the journal "The Chronicle of Higher Education" in 2001.  Since 2005, the long civil rights movement argument has attracted substantial attention from scholars and academics that study the Civil Rights Movement.

The Unreality of Time: "The Argument for the Unreality of Time" is the best-known philosophical work of the Cambridge idealist J. M. E. McTaggart (1866–1925).  In the argument, first published as a journal article in Mind in 1908, McTaggart argues that time is unreal because our descriptions of time are either contradictory, circular, or insufficient.  A slightly different version of the argument appeared in 1927 as one of the chapters in the second volume of McTaggart's greatest work, "The Nature of Existence".

Scientific journal: In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research.  Articles in scientific journals are mostly written by active scientists such as students, researchers and professors instead of professional journalists.  There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past (see list of scientific journals).  Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals such as "Nature" publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields.  Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer reviewed, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity.  Although scientific journals are superficially similar to professional magazines, they are actually quite different.  Issues of a scientific journal are rarely read casually, as one would read a magazine.  The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the scientific method.  If they are describing experiments or calculations, they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results.  Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record.

Microattribution: The term microattribution (a form of data citation) was first defined as "giving database accessions the same citation conventions and indices that journal articles currently enjoy".  In the sense that the purpose of precise attribution is to extend the scholarly convention of giving citation credit, the provenance of a piece of scholarship (observation or data deposition) is recognized to give credit and priority to a preceding author.  Microattribution is thus defined as "a scholarly contribution smaller than a journal article being ascribed to a particular author" or "a small scholarly contribution being ascribed to a particular author".  Of course, since data accessions can describe contributions that can vastly exceed research articles in size and quality, quantum attribution or precise citation might be better terms.  Barend Mons and Jan Velterop proposed nanopublications for single, attributable and machine-readable assertions in scientific literature.

Séralini affair: The Séralini affair was the controversy surrounding the publication, retraction, and republication of a journal article by French molecular biologist Gilles-Éric Séralini.  First published by "Food and Chemical Toxicology " in September 2012, the article presented a two-year feeding study in rats, and reported an increase in tumors among rats fed genetically modified corn and the herbicide RoundUp.  Scientists and regulatory agencies subsequently concluded that the study's design was flawed and its findings unsubstantiated.  A chief criticism was that each part of the study had too few rats to obtain statistically useful data, particularly because the strain of rat used, Sprague Dawley, develops tumors at a high rate over its lifetime.

IMRAD: In scientific writing, IMRaD ( ) (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) refers to a common organization structure.  IMRAD is the most prominent norm for the structure of a scientific journal article of the original research type.  Although the IMRaD structure emphasizes the organization of content and in scientific journal articles, each section (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) has unique conventions for scientific writing style.

J. M. E. McTaggart: John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart, FBA, commonly John McTaggart or J. M. E. McTaggart ( ; 3 September 1866 – 18 January 1925), was an idealist metaphysician.  For most of his life McTaggart was a fellow and lecturer in philosophy at Trinity College, Cambridge.  He was an exponent of the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and among the most notable of the British idealists.  McTaggart is known for "The Unreality of Time" (1908), in which he argues that time is unreal.  The work has been widely discussed through the 20th Century and into the 21st.

Academic publishing: Academic publishing is the subfield of publishing which distributes academic research and scholarship.  Most academic work is published in academic journal article, book or thesis form.  The part of academic written output that is not formally published but merely printed up or posted on the Internet is often called "grey literature".  Most scientific and scholarly journals, and many academic and scholarly books, though not all, are based on some form of peer review or editorial refereeing to qualify texts for publication.  Peer review quality and selectivity standards vary greatly from journal to journal, publisher to publisher, and field to field.

The Complexity of Songs: "The Complexity of Songs" was a journal article published by computer scientist Donald Knuth in 1977, as an in-joke about computational complexity theory.  The article capitalizes on the tendency of popular songs to devolve from long and content-rich ballads to highly repetitive texts with little or no meaningful content.  The article notes how some songs can reach a complexity level, for a song of length "N" words, as formula: O(log "N") .  The gist of the article is repeated below, maintaining the wit of the key concepts.
