Journals
Journals (also referred to as serials or periodicals) are published on a regular basis, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Journals are extremely useful:
- Due to their regular publication schedule they provide access to current information
- Allow you to keep up-to-date with current literature in a specific area
- Focus on very specific topics, but generally don't provide background information
- Are often the only place where results of research are available
- Are an important source of scholarly information for your assignments
