Journals/Magazines
Research papers will require you to write for an academic audience and to use academic and scholarly journals. Journals tend to cover more specific and current topics than books. This is where your professors publish their research in the forms of essays, case studies, projects, reviews, critiques and reports.

Evaluating articles

While popular magazine articles are sometimes acceptable sources for research assignments, many instructors expect you to use scholarly journal articles. Being familiar with the differences between scholarly journal articles and popular magazine articles will help you evaluate articles for your assignments.
