Why are journal articles important?

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

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