What's in a scholarly article?

Many of the sources you access are scholarly articles. These are articles written by academics and highly-credenctialed practitioners, and are reviewed before publication by other experts. This is why these types of articles are called "peer-reviewed". The diagram below is a guided tour of the typical scholarly article.
