WISE: Why use journals?

The information found in journals is useful because it:
  • reflects research, academic discourse and opinion
  • may not be available in books or other publications
Scholarly research is generally published in journals first. This includes:
  • medical discoveries
  • technological and experimental breakthroughs
  • case studies of groups or companies
  • reports on current events
