Research journals are also called scholarly journals or scientific journals. These journals are referred to as periodicals. They contain research articles written by scholars that are peer-reviewed and evaluated by subject experts or an editorial body in a particular field of study (which in this case is Education). As such, articles or any work that is submitted for consideration to be published must meet certain statutory requirements. 

  • Writing style depicts the jargon and in-depth scholarly vocabulary associated with the subject matter within the research discipline. Readers are expected to be familiar with and have base knowledge of the discipline within the field of study. 
  • Authority is usually premised on the credentials or advanced degrees of the person/s who conducted the the research being report out. As well as, their affiliations to institutions of higher learning and academia is also significant. If more than one person participates in the research, the first author listed is normally considered as the primary researcher who supervised or coordinated the work done by the other researchers or collaborators in the research process.

Practitioner journals are published for professional practitioners and artisans working in a particular field of trade. The articles found in these journals are chockful of information on practical "to-do" instructions and methods or new trends in the field. The articles are usually meant to engage and provide updated standards relevant to upskill and mastery.
