• Why use journal articles?

−

Scholarly or academic journals contain lots of individual articles on specific topics, written by different authors.

They are highly regarded as a source of academic information because they include expert opinions, research findings and references to follow up.

They are written by specialised professionals and academics (such as your lecturers).

The best quality journal articles are peer-reviewed which means they have been reviewed by an expert before publication.

Peer-reviewed journal articles are the best place to start.
