Scholarly Journals for Communications
Journals are published faster than books, and contain current original research in your field. Scholarly articles are written for a specialized audience, by experts in the discipline. In contrast to newspaper and magazine articles, journal articles will usually contain:
- Introduction
- Research Methodology
- Author Credentials
- Footnotes and Bibliography
Scholarly journals are sometimes referred to as "peer reviewed" or "refereed."
