Periodicals provide a whole range of general, from scholarly and technical information to popular information.
Choosing specific types of periodicals are a requirement for many research assignments in most classes.
![Page 5: Week7 8 periodical-types](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58ebee101a28abf4428b4751/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why distinguish periodical types?
Assignments will require different periodical types
Your professor will ask for “‘six references, with 2 magazines, 1 newspaper article, and 3 scholarly journals”
![Page 6: Week7 8 periodical-types](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58ebee101a28abf4428b4751/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You must be able to differentiate between types of periodicals, not only for this class but for almost any research assignment.

Major types of periodicals:
Newspapers: contain updated information on current news and event.
Magazines: examples include Time and Newsweek, include analyses by reporters,
Scholarly journals: academic and research studies on specific topics.
Trade Journals: trade journals are written for specific professions and fields [i.e., nursing, automotive technology, construction]

Newspapers
•Oftentimes stories in newspapers are recountings of single events
•what happened in the latest political election, or what happened last night in a single police incident.

Magazines
•Magazines usually include analyses of a series of events
•---event leading up to a war, or surveys/data about a political election]

Trade Publications
Often what appear to be journals are actually trade publications in areas like automotive technology, construction technology, etc.
Trade Publication Titles

Trade Publications
•Trade Publications are somewhat tricky: they can look like scholarly publications, but are often formatted like newspapers or magazines.

Trade Journals = practicing professionals
Trade Journals are written for practitioners within a specific field, and should not be confused with scholarly journals

Print Periodicals
Before databases, most periodical collections were in print format:

ProQuest:
over 2200 periodical titles
Academic Search Premier:

Print Periodicals vs. Electronic Databases
To compare collections in print versus
electronic: Electronic databases replicate the contents of print periodicals They contain many more titles than is possible in print collections
![Page 17: Week7 8 periodical-types](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58ebee101a28abf4428b4751/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Print Electronic
Print periodicals are always full text
[obvious, when you have a periodical in front of you it contains all articles published with the magazine].
Electronic articles may be full text, or offer only the citation
In that case, you must search out the print copy of the article
However, this is less and less true, as more databases become more comprehensive
Full Text - Electronic and Print Periodicals
![Page 18: Week7 8 periodical-types](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022022411/58ebee101a28abf4428b4751/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electronic - Full text vs. Citation
ProQuest and other periodical databases offer usually around 60% of their collections full text.
Not ALL results will be full-text. See example from Ebsco:
NOT Full text [citation only]
Full text in HTML and pdf
