Scientific journal

A periodical that publishes scholarly research and related scientific material. Its articles are typically selected and evaluated through editorial processes, often including peer review.

Peer review: Evaluation of scholarly work by experts in the same or a related field before publication. Many scientific journals use expert review to assess submissions before accepting them.
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: A scientific journal established in London in 1665 and published by the Royal Society. Its launch helped establish the scientific journal as a recurring publication.
Literature review: A structured account and evaluation of existing research on a defined topic. Journal articles provide much of the evidence gathered in literature reviews.
Preprint: A scholarly manuscript shared publicly before formal peer review and journal publication. Preprints circulate research without waiting for a journal's publication process.
Scientific article: A scholarly publication reporting research, reviewing evidence, or presenting scientific analysis. Articles are the core units journals publish and readers encounter.
Journal des sçavans: A French periodical founded in 1665 that reported scholarly books, discoveries, and debates. Its appearance in the same year shows the journal's early roots in scholarly communication.
Systematic review: A review that uses predefined methods to identify, assess, and synthesize relevant studies. Journals publish systematic reviews that consolidate findings across research articles.
Conference proceedings: A collection of papers or abstracts published from an academic conference. In some disciplines, proceedings provide a publication route distinct from journals.
Editorial board: A group of scholars and editors that advises or oversees a journal's academic content. Board members help shape a journal's scope, standards, and editorial decisions.
Learned society: An organization that advances a scholarly or scientific discipline through research and exchange. Learned societies founded and published many early scientific journals.
