Six Months or More Later

Articles appear in scholarly or academic journals. This is also when scholars and researchers may start holding conferences on the topic and eventually, conference papers will be published.

These articles are usually longer in length than the initial reports and articles and may contain a statistical analysis and almost always a bibliography. The intended audience of these articles are scholars, specialists, and students. The articles are usually written by specialists and scholars.

Examples:

Peele, Gillian." Electoral Politics, Ideology and American Social Policy ." Social Policy & Administration 39 (2005): 150-.
