Peer-reviewed and scholarly journals are related but not identical. Not all scholarly journals go through the peer-review process.

Academic/Scholarly articles: 

• Scholarly journals contain articles written by, and addressed to, experts in a discipline, including scholars, researchers, and academics.
• They are concerned with academic study, especially original research, and demonstrate the methods and concerns of scholars.
• Articles are usually fairly long, include charts and tables and the language is  discipline-specific
• Scholarly journals always rigorously cite their sources in the form of footnotes or bibliographies. Many scholarly journals are published by professional organizations. 

Peer-reviewed articles:

• Peer review is the process by which colleagues critically appraise each other's work in order to ensure a high level of scholarship.
• When the manuscript of an article is submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, independent experts are asked to read and comment on the manuscript. If approved by the reviewers, the manuscript is accepted for publication as an article in the journal.
