The article tells how journals are used and what they do for us. The scholarly journals are peer-reviewed so the article in the journal goes through rigorous editing process. The reviewers of the journal can remain anonymous if they want to be when they publish in the journals to be evaluated experts in the field and the author of the journal can be revealed or not. Scholarly journals have cons too. They help in research because they can lead you to other sources you want to look next. They have a conclusion that restates the argument rather than a proposition and explains in some greater historical context or debate. The scholarly journals are someone else's interpretation of the facts. The scholarly journals assumes the person is familiar with the topic at hand. They also assume the person has prior knowledge to get into a conversations and bring facts forward know about the topic at hand. If you look at what the article is saying that there is always advantages and dis-advtanges in journal articles so you have to decide what you want to do with the scholarly journals by how you used them and that will make it helpful to you and others because sometimes you have to find stuff out on your own that these journal articles don't give.
