A journal is a publication that is often dedicated to a particular subject, discipline, or career field.  Some journals are called scholarly or peer-reviewed.  That means that the research articles within that journal have all been reviewed by other experts in that field before the article and approved before they get published.  This makes for a very reliable, credible article!  Journals can be in print or electronic.  Search the library databases to find journal articles for your research. 

How is a journal different from a magazine?  A magazine is also a publication that has articles within.  However, these articles are not scholarly or peer-reviewed.  These articles need to be evaluated further before using them in your research. Magazines can also be in print or digital form and can be found by searching the library databases.
