articles that interpret, review, or synthesize original research/fieldwork.
3. Tertiary sources are those used to organize and locate secondary and primary sources.

of a book, article, and/or journal, publisher and publication date, volume and issue number
and page numbers.

Magazine or Journal?
When searching for articles, it's important to know what type of source, or periodical in which the articles
are published. This is because each type has its own purpose, intent, audience, etc. This guide lists criteria to
help you identify scholarly journals, trade journals, and magazines. It is the first step in critically evaluating
your source of information. Determining what makes a journal scholarly is not a clear-cut process, but there
are many indicators which can help you.

is sound and of high quality. Sometimes the term "refereed" is used instead of peer review.
Trade Journal
Examples: Advertising
Age Independent Banker
People Management
Examples: Newsweek
Popular Science
Psychology Today
