This document provides definitions and explanations of key terminology related to journals. It defines what a journal is, discusses different types of journals including academic, trade, current affairs, popular and newspapers. It also explains concepts like volume and issue, types of publications, ISSN, editorial boards, frequency of publication, peer review, double blind review, abstracts, title pages, indexed and impact factor of journals, review articles, open access journals, and copyright.
This document discusses annotated bibliographies and literature reviews. It provides guidance on challenges students may face when completing these assignments, how to evaluate sources, and what to include in a literature review. The document recommends finding at least six relevant sources from professional journals and reading them actively by taking notes. It also lists sections that are typically included in a literature review, such as introductions and summaries, and provides examples of literature reviews. Students are advised to read sources from easier to more difficult and evaluate how sources fit together and into the overall field of research.
This document discusses different types of periodicals that can be used for academic research, including popular magazines, trade journals, scholarly journals, and peer-reviewed journals. It notes that peer-reviewed journals are especially important for research papers as they present original research evaluated by experts. The document outlines the typical sections of a scholarly journal article and how to search library databases and catalogs to find periodicals.
Scholarly journals and popular magazines differ in their purpose, style, and content. Scholarly journals contain original research that has undergone peer review, with authors citing sources and including in-depth qualitative or quantitative analysis. They are written by experts in a field for other scholars. Popular magazines aim to inform and entertain the general public with shorter, less in-depth articles by staff writers or freelancers. They include advertisements and do not normally cite external sources. While magazines provide background on current topics, scholarly journals are used to support academic research.
This document provides information about properly formatting and citing sources in a research paper. It discusses including a title page, introduction, and references section with citations in the proper style guide format. The key reasons for citing sources are to give credit to other researchers, demonstrate that assigned reading was completed, and allow professors to check that sources were understood correctly. Different academic disciplines typically use specific style guides like MLA, APA, Chicago, and SBL. Assistance with citations is available through the library and online resources like the Purdue OWL.
To be information literate in college, according to the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), students should be able to determine how much information is needed on a topic, access information efficiently and effectively, evaluate information sources critically, incorporate selected information into their own knowledge, use information for specific purposes, understand legal and ethical issues related to information use, and access and use information legally and ethically. In the academic world, opinions must be backed by evidence from peer-reviewed research, where other scholars review research papers to verify the quality of information and analysis before the papers are published. When writing research papers for class, students should use peer-reviewed sources found through the university library or its subscription databases.

Under the academic adage "publish or perish," would Galileo receive tenure at the University of Pisa today?
Sure, he was smart- he proved Copernicus's theory that the earth moves around the sun.
But what about his publishing record? Galileo took 6 years to write his treatise, The Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems: Ptolemaic & Copernican. Church censorship, peer review, & plague caused further delays, & 3 more years passed before the book was published (not by a university press).
How original was The Dialogue anyway? Was Galileo simply proving Copernicus's ideas?

Presenting Your Research
Research is complete only when the results are shared with the scientific community.
-American Psychological Association
Imagine that you have identified an interesting research question, reviewed the relevant literature, designed and conducted an empirical study, analyzed the data, and drawn your conclusions. There is still one more step in the process of conducting scientific research. It is time to add your research to the literature so that others can learn from it and build on it. Remember that science is a social process—a large-scale collaboration among many researchers distributed across space and time. For this reason, it could be argued that unless you make your research public in some form, you are not really engaged in science at all.
In this chapter, we look at how to present your research effectively. We begin with a discussion of American Psychological Association (APA) style—the primary approach to writing taken by researchers in psychology and related fields. Then we consider how to write an APA-style empirical research report. Finally, we look at some of the many other ways in which researchers present their work, including review and theoretical articles, theses and other student papers, and talks and posters at professional meetings.

What Is APA Style?
APA style is a set of guidelines for writing in psychology and related fields. These guidelines are set down in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA,
2006). [1] The Publication Manual originated in 1929 as a short journal article that provided basic
standards for preparing manuscripts to be submitted for publication (Bentley et al., 1929). [2] It was later expanded and published as a book by the association and is now in its sixth edition. The primary purpose of APA style is to facilitate scientific communication by promoting clarity of expression and by standardizing the organization and content of research articles and book chapters. It is easier to write about research when you know what information to present, the order in which to present it, and even the style in which to present it. Likewise, it is easier to read about research when it is presented in familiar and expected ways.
APA style is best thought of as a “genre” of writing that is appropriate for presenting the results of psychological research—especially in academic and professional contexts. It is not ...
