Physics: Articles

Articles from journals or magazines usually provide the most current information on a topic. Articles in journals provide scholarly, professional or technical information. This is where primary scientific literature will be found.

Articles in magazines are useful for brief, general, introductory information. To find references to current articles in physics and astronomy, consult one or more of the indexes listed on the Find Articles & More: Physics page. Consult the paper journal indexes also to find older articles.

Once you have located a relevant article, search Find Journals by Title or the Library Catalog for the journal title.

If the library has the journal in print, note the call number and the issues owned to be sure Pollak Library owns the issue of the journal in your citation.
