Scholarly (peer-reviewed) resources undergo review by experts in a field of study, who determine that the articles are objective and credible before they are published. Examples of peer-reviewed resources include articles in academic journals, collections of essays or anthologies.
In the Humanities, scholars are often making logical arguments based on the evidence they have. Historians, for instance, might derive fresh insights by analyzing primary source documents from their specific study era.
Humanities scholarly articles often contain the subsequent sections, although not always. When included, these sections might not be distinctly labeled.
Abstract | Concise overview of the article is usually included, though not always |
Introduction | Typically more extensive. The Introduction provides comprehensive background details about the topic under study. It often contains the thesis, which might not be restricted to a single sentence. May also include a Literature Review. |
Discussion/ Conclusion | The discussion typically spans the entirety of the article without a distinct section. In Humanities articles, the conclusion might not have the same clear structure as in scientific papers. |
Works Cited/ Bibliography | List of resources used by the author(s). |
