Journals & magazines

There are two types of periodical that you are likely to use: journals and magazines. The Library provides online access to a wide variety of both types.

Journals:
  • Contain research articles by academics.
  • Are peer-reviewed for originality and accuracy.
  • Will include references to sources used.
Magazines
  • Written by journalists for public interest, so not scholarly.
  • Aiming to make profit through sales and advertising.
  • Will contain project studies and reviews.

It's important to remember that journals are academic, while magazines are not. You therefore want to be relying more on journals that magazines in your assignments.
