Journals
Journal
articles are written by scholars in an academic or professional
field. An editorial board reviews articles to decide whether they
should be published (This process is often called peer-review). Journal articles may cover very specific topics
or narrow fields of research.
Since journals
are published at periodic intervals, they are grouped in the category
called "periodicals." They may be in print format or on
the Web as electronic journals. Your library purchases subscriptions
to most journals through library subscription databases.
