Journal ArticlesAcademic journals are periodicals that contain articles written for a particular field of study. They can also be referred to as scholarly, scientific or peer reviewed journals. Academic journals are important sources of information and are great sources to use in your assessments.
Articles in academic journals are usually peer-reviewed meaning they go through a rigorous reviewing process before they are published where the work of researchers is scrutinised and validated by others in their discipline. Due to this process, academic journal articles are regarded as being more credible than articles from popular or trade journals and magazines.
