Most popular journals, such as Time and Esquire are not academically or research- focused.

On the other hand, American Literature, ELH , or The Journal of Modern Literature are examples of scholarly, peer-reviewed journals that are generally preferred by researchers.

Articles submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication consideration are sent by the editor to several reviewers who are experts in the field covered by the article.

These experts then contact the editor with a recommendation to publish or not to publish.

This rigorous review process gives articles credibility and intellectual prestige.
