How can I tell if a particular journal is Scholarly or Academic? I have the title of the journal.

Answer

If you have the title of the journal, then you can determine if it is scholarly or academic by searching the Ulrichsweb database:

Go to the Database Pages under the letter "U" to find Ulrichsweb:
