There are several types of periodicals:
Scholarly/academic journals: The main purpose of a scholarly journal is to report on and disseminate original research or experimentation. The language of scholarly journals is that of the discipline. It assumes some scholarly background on the part of the reader. Authors are usually affiliated with researchinstitutions like universities or government agencies, although in the sciences some authors may be employed by private industry. Many scholarly journals are published by scholarly or academic associations.
All articles published in scholarly journals go through a formal peer review process and the authors will always cite their sources in a list of references, a bibliography, endnotes or footnotes.
Professional or trade journals: The purpose of these journals is to inform members of a particular
industry or profession through the publication of profession-specific content that may combine fact,
anecdote or opinion. Readers require some professional or industry vocabulary. Authors may or may not have an academic affiliation, but they will have expertise in the area in which they are writing. These publications are usually colourful and have advertising geared to the profession, and they are published by trade or professional organizations.
Articles published in professional or trade journals are not peer reviewed, though editors may invite
submissions from known experts. Authors will rarely cite their sources.
Magazines and newspapers: The goal of magazines is to entertain and inform. Authors are often
professional writers rather than scholars or industry experts. The content may be factual, but may also be biased by editorial or publishing policy. Language should be easy to understand by all readers. Magazines are colourful, and have many pictures and advertisements.
Magazines are not peer reviewed and authors almost never cite their sources.
Indexes and Databases:
Most articles can be located using sources called periodical indexes. Traditionally these indexes were only available in print. Today, our library has access to a variety of electronic periodical indexes (available via the Internet) called databases. Some databases include a summary (or abstract) of the article, whileothers will include the full-text of the article.
