An important step in writing a term paper or in completing
many assignments includes finding information in periodicals.
In general, information in periodicals is more timely, current,
and up-to-date, than information in books. When professors
and/or librarians speak of the periodical literature, they may use
several different terms, such as, magazines, serials, or scholarly
journals.
In order to look for the right kind of information in the right
places, you first need to understand the assignment. Does your
professor want you to look for papers in scholarly journals, or
will recent articles from substantive, general interest or popular
magazines be more appropriate? Once you understand the
assignment, you need to know how to distinguish one kind of
periodical literature from another. Here are some rough
guidelines:
· A serial or periodical is any publication that appears at regular
intervals (weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually) and is
intended to continue indefinitely. Magazines, journals,
newspapers, yearbooks, proceedings, and indexes are all serials.
· Magazines are commercial serial publications intended for any
of a wide variety of readers. Some magazines provide news and

3. general information to a popular audience, while others are
aimed at professionals in various fields.
· Newspapers are commercial periodicals that are issued daily,
weekly or biweekly, featuring cover age of news and current
events as well as opinion and advertising. Newspapers seek to
inform, explain, influence and entertain readers. Some papers
such as the New York Times, USA Today or the Gainesville Sun
target the general public, while others aim for a more defined
audience.
· Journals, or scholarly, scientific journals, are periodicals
generally published by an institution, professional association
or learned society, and contain articles that disseminate current
information on research and developments in particular subject
fields. Before an editor of a journal publishes a manuscript, the
editor and a team of specialists on the journal editorial board
examine the manuscript carefully, to be sure that the article will
contribute to the knowledge of the field. Because of the
rigorous evaluation process, these publications are also referred
to as refereed or peer-reviewed journals.
Scholarly vs. Popular Periodicals
GEORGE A. SMATHERS LIBRARIES
August 2007
Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed
Purpose: To report on original research
or experimentation in order to make
such information available to the rest
of the scholarly community.
Scholarly journals generally have a
sober, serious look. The articles
contain mostly text, with many graphs
and charts, but few photos. Scholarly
journals
always
cite their sources in

4. the form of footnotes or bibliographies.
Articles are written by a scholar in the
field or by someone who has done
research in the field.
The language of scholarly journals is
that of the discipline covered. It
assumes some scholarly background
on the part of the reader.
Many scholarly journals (but not all)
are published by a specific
professional organization.
EXAMPLES:
American Anthropologist
Journal of
(
the American Anthropology Association)
JAMA: Journal of
the American
Medical Association
Journal of Marriage and the Family
(
Published by the National Council on
Family Relations)
PMLA
(
)
Modern Language Association
Psychological Bulletin
(
Published by
the American Psychological
Association)
Science
(
Journal of the American
Association for the Advancement of

5. Science)
Trade & Professional
Purpose: To provide information, in a
general manner, to a broad audience of
concerned citizens.
These periodicals may be quite attractive,
even glossy, in appearance. Some
may be in newspaper format. Articles
often have many illustrations, usually
photographs.
These periodicals sometimes cite sources
but they often do not.
Articles may be written by a scholar, a
well-known professional or other expert
in the subject addressed in the article.
Freelance writers or members of the
editorial staff may also contribute
articles.
The language of these publications is
geared to any educated audience. A
certain level of interest and intelligence,
though not expertise, is assumed.
Professional and trade magazines report
on developments in various fields or
industries.
They are generally published by
commercial enterprises or individuals,
although some emanate from specific
professional organizations.
EXAMPLES:
Advertising Age, Billboard, Business
Week, Atlantic,The Economist, Harpers,
Mother Jones, The Nation,New Scientist,
New York Times Magazine,Scientific
America, The Smithsonian,U.S. News &
World Report, Variety

6. Popular
Purpose: To entertain the reader, to sell
the products of their advertisers, and/or
promote a viewpoint.
Popular periodicals come in various
formats, but they are usually glossy with
colorful, flashy covers and photos
intended to entice the readers and
buyers at newsstands.
Popular magazines rarely cite sources.
The information is often second or
third-hand and the original source is
sometimes obscure.
Articles are written by staff members or
free-lance writers.
Articles are usually very short, written
in simple language and designed to
meet a minimal education level. There
is generally little depth to the articles’
content.
EXAMPLES:
Cosmopolitan, Ebony, Essence,
Family Circle, Mother Earth News,
Ms., Omni, Psychology Today,
Parents Magazine, People Weekly,
Popular Mechanics, Readers Digest,
Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated,
USA Today
Newspapers
Purpose: To report news, and cultural
events through news analysis and
reporting. Papers also feature photographs,
weather reports, editorials, essays, personal
and syndicated columns, letters to the
editors, comic strips, cartoons, advertising
and reviews of books, movies and music.

7. Coverage ranges from national and
international (
New York Times
,
Washington
Post
to events of local interest
)
(
Gainesville Sun
, or the
St. Augustine
Record
depending upon the audience
)
for the paper.
Newspapers are typically published
daily, twice weekly or once a week,
though there are exceptions. Traditional
papers are printed on low quality tabloid
sized paper, as well as online.
Articles are written by professional
journalists.
Newspapers are useful primary sources
of information, printing full text of
speeches, first hand reports of events,
and elusive facts about local issues or
events.
EXAMPLES:
Atlanta Journal and Constitution
Miami Herald, Boston Globe
Still Confused?
Sometimes it is hard to tell if a periodical is scholarly or
popular, even after following
the tips given in this handout. A periodical directory will give a
description

8. of the periodical’s publishing history, audience and tell if it is
peer-reviewed.

SAMPLE PAPER
Does the culture of children drinking wine with meals with their
families create a healthier relationship with alcohol later in life
for them?

9. The holidays are right around the corner. Imagine walking
in to your relative’s house that you only see a few times a year,
getting offered a glass of wine as you walk in and clinking
glasses with your little nephew who is 10 years old, and also
drinking a small glass of wine with you. This is not the norm in
the United States, so it would come off as a shock. Now, fast
forward to the same evening when one relative, over 21, has had
too much to drink, and Aunt Edna has to hide the liquor because
everyone in the family knows that this one cousin cannot handle
his alcohol. The entire family is on edge and trying to avoid a
fight that might happen due to the one relative who can never
handle his alcohol. Imagine how nice it would be if the family
never had to worry about fights and alcohol being a possible
scenario if our American culture had children drink wine with
meals at a young age, thus creating a healthier relationship with
alcohol later in life?
De-stigmatizing alcohol consumption by letting children
consume alcohol with parents can lead to a healthier
relationship with alcohol later in life (Sofuoglu, 2017).
Parenting style is a huge role in this de-stigmatization of
alcohol. According to the NIH, one study reports that if the
parents allow their children to have sips of alcohol with them in
a proper familial setting and have good communication about
the use and abuse of alcohol, it can be beneficial to the child’s
relationship with alcohol (NIH, 2017). To make the
relationship between alcohol and adolescence a positive one, the
parenting style needs to be that of an Authoritative style (NIH,
2017). The context of how the parent provides the alcohol is a
big indicator if the alcohol relationship will be positive.
Communication is essential. According to Foley, if the
adolescence is aware of the perceived consequences of the
abuse of alcohol, then the relationship with alcohol can be
positive (Foley, et al, 2014). Drinking with a parent in a
familial context with that parent showing protectiveness of
underage drinking also resulting in a positive relationship with
alcohol (Foley, et al, 2014).

10. While some may see the concept of adolescence drinking
with family to have a positive relationship, most of the studies
done report that children who start drinking underage, even
under adult supervision, leads to excessive drinking and
therefore a negative relationship with alcohol later in life (NIH,
2017). In other words, even with parental provision of alcohol
consumption there is a direct risk factor for excessive drinking.
An example is when parents provide alcohol for parties attended
or hosted by their kids (NIH, 2017). Overall, the literature
suggests that permissive attitudes toward underage drinking,
combined with poor communication and unhealthy modeling,
can lead kids into unhealthy relationships with alcohol (NIH,
2017).
In one study, it was reported that at age 12, with parental
provision of alcohol and the alcohol being made easily available
at home, there was a significant increase in the path of underage
drinking and usage between the ages of 12-14 (Komro, et al,
2007). The results from a systematic review conducted by
Sharmin, et al, concludes that overall, there is a risk for
increase in consumption of underage drinking when provided
alcohol by parents (Sharmin, et al 2017).
My conclusion was not what I thought it would be when I
started researching for this paper. I was under the impression
that if a child was offered to drink alcohol with the parents
under certain settings, that it would create a positive
relationship with alcohol later in life. I was surprised to find
that most of the literature shows it does the opposite. The big
indicator of whether or not a positive or negative relationship
with alcohol issues is not so much the availability of the alcohol
by parents, but the communication by the parents.
Communication is key. We could also say that communication
is the same as education. Educating the adolescent about the
negative effects of alcohol consumption seems to be the
denominator and therefore I think the biggest concept to be
taken away from this debate. I have two boys, ages 7 and 11. I
have let them sip alcohol before but never talked about the

11. implications of underage drinking and the consequences of
abusing alcohol. I WILL NOW! As with any public health
issue, education and communication is always the missing link.
