What is an Academic Journal?

 

Journals can be called by many names; serials, periodicals or magazines for example.  Journals are published at regular intervals under the same title. They contain articles relating to a specific subject area. 

Academic journals are the most relevant for research purposes. Articles in academic journals are usually refereed (also called peer-reviewed). Academic articles are available through Databases such as EBSCO SocIndex and many more. Databases can be searched individually through the Collections/ Databases tab on the Library website or through Discover on the Library Website main page
