What are Scholarly Articles?

Scholarly articles are articles that appear in refereed journals.  These are publications whose articles are peer-reviewed prior to publication.  This means that scholars in a particular subject area reviews the article before it is published and based on standard criteria, they deem it acceptable for publication, they ask for revisions, or they reject the publication.
