Why are journals important?

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.

Browzine

You can create a bookshelf of your favourite journal titles and also a collection of your most useful articles. You can search by journal title or use the subject headings to browse by subject.
