Читать книгу Effective Writing in Psychology - Bernard C. Beins - Страница 38

The authors and readers of scholarly sources tend to be academics and expect that their peers will read them, so someone who has not studied the field being written about would probably not understand much of the content of these sources. An article about the same topic that appears in a popular source will be written differently because it is aiming at a lay audience. For this reason, authors of popular sources use language that is accessible to those who are not experts in the field. Of course, people who are academics or professionals might read popular sources, but the reverse is improbable: those untrained in a specific field are unlikely to read that field's scholarly sources.
