Magazines? Scholarly Journals? What's the difference?
Different types of publications have different purposes and different audiences. Selecting the right resources for term papers, reports and other projects is a vital component of the research process. There may be times when either, or both, types of resources are appropriate. See http://library.ucr.edu/?view=help/scholarly.html for information on identifying a scholarly journal.
