Economics: Journals

You may think you can get all the information you need from textbooks and websites, but it's a good idea to include  journal articles in your research too.

Journals are made up of collections of articles and publishes regularly on a continuing basis (usually weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually). A journal normally focuses on a specific topic. Journals provide information that is:

• Timely – journals are published more often than books, as a result you will find up-to-date information in recent journals
• Concise – articles in journals are shorter to read than books
• Authoritative – articles are written by experts (either academics or professionals).  Peer reviewed journals contain articles which have been  examined and reviewed by the editorial board of the journal to ensure the research is sound, accurate and robust before the article is published.
