academic publishing, a scientific journal is a
publication intended to further the progress of
science, usually by reporting new
research. Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals such as
Nature publish articles and
scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields. Scientific journals contain articles that have been
peer-reviewed, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific
validity. Although scientific journals are superficially similar to
professional magazines, they are actually quite different. Issues of a scientific journal are rarely read casually, as one would read a
magazine. The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the
scientific method; they generally must supply enough details of an experiment that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment to verify the results. Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record.
