A periodical is a publication which occurs at regular intervals. This may include annuals, bi-annual (twice a year), tri-annual (three times a year), quarterly, bi-monthly (every 2 months), monthly, fortnightly, weekly and daily.
These publications may be reference works such as directories and yearbooks, newspapers, leisure and special interest magazines, interest society magazines, newsletters, professional news publications, trade magazines and academic journals publishing scholarly articles.
Periodicals may be published in print or electronic form.
A Journal was originally something published daily and this still appears in the title of some newspapers such as The Journal, a local newspaper covering the Newcastle-upon-Tyne area. However, these days it usuall means a scholarly periodical.
The Library subscribes to all of these types of periodical and there is a list of them in the box below.
Periodicals and journals are published much more frequently than books and with a much smaller delay.
Articles are generally shorter than books.
Scholarly journals are peer-reviewed. This means that the editors of the journal who decide on whether an article may be published or not have a academic standing and are therefore able to assess the quality of the articles submitted and turn down those which are not of a high enough standard.
Most articles in scholarly journals include a statement of methodology and a bibliography or list of references.
An increasing number of Journals, especially peer-reviewed, scholarly ones, are now electronic.
The contents pages of most electronic journals may now be browsed on their website - simply search the internet for them. To browse a journal to which we subscribe and offer full-text access go to our A-Z of eJournal Titles.
