Scholarly journals are often published continuously throughout a volume, which is usually one complete year or four quarterly publications of a journal. It is not uncommon to find a journal article that begins on page 400 or more. You can usually find the bibliography at the end of the article. The articles in scholarly journals also tend to be longer than those in popular publications. They can often be anywhere from 5 to 40 pages long.
Scholarly articles tend to include very few photographs.
Tables and charts that report statistical results or graph research finds are common. The library has many research databases that contain scholarly journal articles. The library also has databases that are subject specific. To find a list of databases relevant to your subject area go to the library's Subject Guides page. An excellent source to check is Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory .
