The refereed journals are those which are submitted to several other experts for review and comment. These academics must agree on the article and testify that it is reliable and relevant. Their layouts usually have a serious look and presents graphs and charts. They also refer their source on footnotes or bibliographies.
The authors� affiliations are always listed, the language has to do with the discipline covered being, this way, more connected with the reader background. The main purpose of the refereed journal is to report original and valuable researches to the scholarly world.
The common written media, although important, serious or related to real facts is attached to general interests, and they are not always trustful as well. They can also be presented in a newspaper format. Most of times they have an attractive appearance and are heavily illustrated. The articles may be written by a member of the editorial staff, a scholar or even a free-lance writer. The vocabulary is meant to reach to any educated audience. They rarely cite their sources. They can be substantial, popular, or sensational. Being substantial, their purpose is to provide general information. Being popular, their interest is to entertain the reader and sell products with a lot of ads; being sensational, their main goal is to arouse curiosity among the readers and satisfy popular beliefs (common sense).
