Question: What value lies in scholarly journals? Why, for example, would a researcher choose a journal over a book?
Answer: Journals are often the best way to learn about the latest research in a discipline.
The articles are written by scholars and can cover very specific topics or narrow fields of research in the field. The bibliographies included often point to other relevant research.
Since journals are published on a regular or periodic basis, they are sometimes called "periodicals."
