Article databases

Types of periodicals / articles

Scholarly/academic journals, e.g. Academy of Management Review, may be peer-reviewed and publish experimental or theoretical research in a discipline.

Trade publications, like Government Procurement and Accounting Today, inform or educate professionals in an industry or management function.

Popular magazines, like Time, Bloomberg Businessweek, Harvard Business Review, and newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, inform or entertain the general public.

If in doubt, ask your professor what kinds of periodicals they prefer that you to use for the assignment.

"An article that is going to help you is not one that agrees with what you're saying but one that you have something to say about."
