| Periodicals in research writing |

Periodicals: Newspapers/Magazines and Journals Periodicals include all material that is published on a regular schedule, such as weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, four times a year, and so on. Newspapers, magazines, and journals are classified as periodicals. • Newspapers and magazines are aimed at a general readership. • Journals are aimed at a technical audience. Always locate the periodicals that suit your research needs. In university libraries or large community libraries, you locate periodicals in electronic databases. In some instances, you can get the complete article (called "full text"); in other cases, just the citation. Then you have to find the article in another database. A large university library will usually have more than 100 electronic databases and 30,000 full-text electronic journals. Some of the most common periodical databases include the following: • EBSCOhost • Info Trac OneFile • Image Collection • General Reference Center Gold • New York Times • Newsday • Newspaper Source Warning! Be sure that the database you're searching lists the kind of sources you want. For example, the Humanities Index likely doesn't include articles on mutual funds. For this topic, you should check the Business Index. If you look in the wrong index for your topic, you might erroneously conclude that the library doesn't have any material on your topic. |
