Which of the following is published in a journal?

AOnly an article
BOnly a paper
CBoth an article and a paper ✓ Correct
DNeither an article nor a paper
Correct answer: (C) Both an article and a paper
Explanation

A scholarly journal publishes both articles and papers, since both are peer reviewed written contributions to a discipline.

Only an article is wrong because research papers reporting original studies also appear in journals.

Only a paper is wrong because review, theoretical and discussion articles are equally journal content.

Neither contradicts the very purpose of an academic journal as a vehicle of publication.

An article often surveys or discusses a topic while a paper typically reports fresh empirical work.

Journals carry an ISSN and issue volumes and numbers to organise their published content.
