Explain the difference between an empirical journal article and a popular magazine article.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answers vary
A popular magazine article is written to inform a lay audience about a topic. Research may be described in the article, but it will not be described in detail and may not always accurately represent all aspects of the research studies described. An empirical journal article describes a research study in detail and is written to allow other researchers to be informed about other studies in an area and their findings.
