can a book be considered a scholarly article?

Question

yes or no

Answer 1

An academic journal is a regularly-published, peer-reviewed publication that publishes scholarship relating to an academic discipline. The purpose of such a journal is to provide a place for the introduction and scrutiny of new research, and often a forum for the critique of existing research.

These purposes are most often manifested in the publication of original research articles, review articles, and book reviews.

The term "academic journal" applies to scholarly publications in all fields, and this article covers the aspects common to all academic fields.

Scientific journals and journals in the quantitative social sciences vary somewhat in form and function from journals in the humanities and qualitative social sciences, and the specific aspects are discussed separately. The very similar American and British systems are being primarily discussed here--other regions are somewhat different.

Answer 2

No. Not unless the book documents a scholarly experiment or study. If it does, then yes it can be used. I wouldn't use it though. Teacher's can be sticklers for that kind of thing.

Just go to the library and look at the scholarly journals there. They should have journals of all kinds.

Answer 3

Only if the book is a collection of articles.
