Date Posted: 06:42:42 08/15/10 Sun A refereed journal is a periodical that contains articles that have been evaluated by an expert in the field. Those scholarly journals are only published once they have passed through the review process. The review process is also known as peer-review, and it involves a critical inspection or examination, to guarantee that the information in an academic journal is of the highest quality. For this process to take place it requires a community of experts in a certain field who are qualified to perform an impartial review. To determine if a journal is peer-reviewed or not, one may look at the journal itself and search at the editorial statement for references to the peer review process (this information is usually located in the first pages or at the end of the journal). Other way of ensuring if the journal has been submitted trough the review process, is to look up the journal in Ulrich’s Periodical Directory, to find out whether the journal is refereed. Refereed journals, magazines, newspapers and newsletters are all periodicals that are published with a certain frequency, but there are several differences between those media. Those differences are noticeable by observing for example; the way they approach the subject in their contents, the purpose of that publication, for what audience is made and their physical layout. A refereed journal is created by specialists of a certain field, and addressed for a specific audience, like scholars, specialists and students of an academic environment. The main purpose of a Refereed journal is to report original research or experimentation and to communicate this information to the rest of the scholarly world. An article published in a refereed journal offers accurate information to a certain academic field, based on research. Just as it is named, a refereed journal usually pass through several stages of revision until is published. Magazines in other hand tend to appear more generic and are designed by anyone that can write about a certain subject, a magazine writer does not need to be exactly a specialist in a certain area of knowledge. The writers of magazines are usually journalists, poets, essayists, and people who have certain interests in the topics being presented. Magazines are addressed for the general public and the opinion expressed in their articles tend to be more personal than accurate, contrasting the contents of a refereed journal. A newspaper is a publication that concentrates in informing what is happening in a certain area of the world. The articles contained in a newspaper often focus on political events, crimes, business, art and entertainment, society and sports. A newspaper, just like magazines, is usually written by journalists, writers and essayists. The main purpose of this type of publication is to inform. Similar to newspaper there are Newsletters, which can be define as a printed report that informs a special group of subscribers. It is important for one to be aware of the differences among all media in order to research accurately. This is particularly true when mentioning someone who is looking for theoretical information about a certain field, because if one researches in the right place he or she will find an accurate resource that can be really useful for a project. For example, if one needs theoretical knowledge about a research made in the applied linguistic area, it will be ethical to look for a refereed journal and not to search in other types of media to knowledge a research. In the Applied Linguistic Field there are many scholarly international refereed journals, like for example Reading in a Foreign Language( RFL). That is a scholarly international refereed journal and theoretical and pedagogical, including improving standards for foreign language reading. Reading in a Foreign Language is a fully-refereed journal that is published twice a year, in April and October. The editors seek manuscripts concerning both the practice and theory of learning to read and teaching of reading in any foreign or second language. Reviews of scholarly books and teaching materials, conference reports, and discussions are also solicited. The language of the journal is English, but lexical citations of languages other than English are acceptable the journal encourages research submissions about reading in languages other than English. From time to time, special issues are published on themes of relevance to the readers. The most frequently covered themes published over the past twelve months are concerned about familiar vocabulary size in a text. what researchers interested in publishing in those journals should do Researchers who are interested in publish an article in a journal, must first write to the journal and then learn about their general publication policies. In order for an article to be considered, it needs to be new or different then what has been already published. The article should also be consistent with the subject treated in that journal of interest. To submit an article to Reading in a Foreign Language an author should send a brief biographical writing, a submission form signed by the author stating the authenticity of the material, and also a form showing that the article hasn’t been published anywhere else. All those information and the article must be sent to RFL address, by mail or email. According to RFL, all of their articles, reviews and commentaries must follow requirements proposed in their publication policies. A research should have; an abstract, an Introduction, a Method section, a Results section, a Discussion section, a Conclusion, References and Appendices of instrument(s) used.
