Trade articles report on trends, new products, technologies, and techniques useful to working professionals already in that trade, industry, or field. The articles are short in length and can supply names, dates, facts and figures, along with quotes. Trade articles are written by people who work in or specialize in a particular trade, industry, or field but who are not scholars.
When and Why You Should Use Trade Articles:
Remember: Articles in trade publications do not contain original research and are meant to be practical in nature. Their focus is on current trends and issues.
