Journals provide important sources of academic information.
You can search for journal articles using the Articles search in Primo.
How do I find full-text articles in Primo Articles?
A journal is a publication focusing on a particular subject area which can contain articles, letters, research, opinions and reviews written by different authors. Journals are published at regular intervals, such as weekly, monthly or quarterly. Each copy is an issue and a set of issues makes a volume (usually each year is a separate volume). Journals are also known as periodicals. Anything you see on Primo or in our Libraries with PER in the classmark, it is a journal containing shorts papers on specific topics. They can be found in print format, online or both.
Why use a journal article?
Peer-reviewed articles have been reviewed and accepted by specialists in their field before being published. This ensures that the journals maintain their reputation and the research quality is upheld. Use the filter in Primo to narrow by 'Peer Reviewed'.
