Classical Studies

Why are journals important?

Academic journals are scholarly periodicals (i.e. publications which come out on a regular schedule) which contain articles on specific subjects.

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

  • they are an important forum by which scholarly research is published,
  • they can explore a narrow topic or problem in classical studies in depth
  • they contain current or recent research findings,
  • they go through a process called peer-review, which means that research findings and conclusions are checked by other subject experts
