Journals vs. Magazines
This page is designed to help you distinguish between a journal, also
called a scholarly journal or a research journal, and a magazine, also
called a popular magazine.
Southwestern
College Library - Good because it is the only one to introduce a
third concept - trade publications.
Harvard
College Library - Comes in two parts (the link goes to part 1) with
the first giving some basic characteristics of magazines and journals
and part two looking at what falls between the scholarly and popular.
Central Missouri
State Library -
Great description of Peer-Reviewed Journals.
University of
Michigan Social Work Library - Another good, basic side-by-side
listing of characteristics.
University
of Texas at San Antonio Library - A good basic chart, with the
added advantage of listing several reference works (Hiram has them but
with different call numbers) to give you further information about a
particular publication.
