As
I compare the delivery and style between a scholarly article and a blog from my
field, it is very clear on how different they are. The blog and scholarly
article I am comparing are from previous posts I have within my blog:
“Regenerative Medicine” and “It’s Possible to Have Fun During Medical School”.
To start off with the main difference is what is contained within each source.
Scholarly articles are called scholarly for a reason, they contain information
that is 100% correct and is strictly facts and to the point. It is usually very
bland and a lot of text, in my case it was. The article was a page long of just
text and facts about stem cell research. Its purpose is to provide info in its
specific field not to entertain you. It is geared towards people who already
understand the terminology and phrases used. Now with the blog, the author
wanted to entertain his audience while providing some information. The
difference between the information given is that the scholarly article is
completely true. The audience for the scholarly article would be professionals
in that field needing information to further pursue their subject. For the blog
the audience is anyone that has interest in that topic, you do not have to be
in that field since it is easy and simple to understand.
