Academic Journals
Academic journals are peer-reviewed periodicals in specific fields of study. Researchers and academics publish their original research findings or criticisms of research in these journals. Academic journals have a publishing board and editorial staff, and all articles should have appropriate citations and methods of study.
Academic journals are often quite expensive and require a membership fee or subscription in order to be accessed. However, most school and university libraries have databases that students can use in order to access academic journals online; these libraries can also request articles for students free of charge.
