Event Management: Journal Articles

The easiest way to find a journal article is by using MultiSearch. This searches most of the Library's databases at the same time. Log in using your network username and password to read articles. Go to the Publications tab to search for journal titles directly.

Another option is to search a individual database. Click on the databases tab above for recommended databases, or go directly to the database webpage, with an A-Z list of all subscribed databases.

A journal is similar to a magazine. Issues are available at regular intervals, such as every month. Often, journals are 'peer-reviewed' or 'scholarly'.

• This means each article goes through an evaluation process to test it's accuracy, credibilty, relevance, and so on.
• Peer-reviewed/scholarly articles are usually of a high academic standard.

Journals contain pieces of writing or research called journal articles.

This website summarises the difference between scholarly journals and popular magazines.
