Education

Journals are regular scholarly publications which contain articles on specific subjects.

They are important in academic research for a number of reasons:

• they are the main forum by which research is published,

• they can explore a narrow topic in depth,

• they contain current or recent research findings,

• they are often peer-reviewed so that research findings are checked by other subject experts.

You can use the databases to search for journal articles.  Alternatively you can search directly in a journal for articles.  This is very precise searching but can be very useful if you are looking for a topic in a very specific field.

Use the electronic journals to search directly for a particular journal.
