Why use magazine, newspaper or scholarly journal articles?
Articles provide information on very specific, narrow topics. The Library purchases article databases so you may access articles for your topic – for free. Researchers use them when they need:
Magazines and Newspapers: Brief coverage of contemporary events written to all levels of readers.
Peer Reviewed/ScholarlyJournals: Reports of research or scholarship on specific topics written by scholars to other scholars
What does peer-review mean?
The review of commercial, professional, or academic efficiency, competence, etc., by others in the same occupation -Oxford English Dictionary
