• Authors are authorities in their fields.
• Authors cite their sources in endnotes, footnotes, or bibliographies.
• Individual issues have little or no advertising.
• Articles must go through a peer-review or refereed process.
• Articles are usually reports on scholarly research.
• Illustrations usually take the form of charts and graphs.
• Articles use jargon of the discipline.
