- Know you need to locate articles for a project or paper?
- Not sure which types of periodicals would be the best to use?
- Not quite sure how to tell the difference between the different types of periodicals?
- Not sure why you should care about the difference between different types of periodicals?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that you’re not alone.
Because the types of sources used in projects and papers often (if not always) influence how well your finished product will be received (what grade it will receive or what your supervisor will think about your abilities), it’s important to learn how to tell the difference between the types and how to use them appropriately.
A brief overview of periodical types -- their characteristics and uses -- is provided by the YouTube video Scholarly vs. Popular Periodicals, which was created by Peabody Library at Vanderbilt University.
Need more assistance figuring out what type of article to use, where to find the articles, and how to cite them? Tarleton Libraries are here to help!
