What is scholarly publication?

World Bank Group: Data
The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries and is not actually a bank in the common sense. It is made up of two unique development institutions owned by 184 member countries—the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Each institution plays a different but supportive role in the mission of global poverty reduction and the improvement of living standards.
