Magazines provide access to information that specifically focuses on a particular interest or a topic (Why Do People Read Magazines?, n.d.). Newspapers can provide a primary or secondary source of information about historical and current events (Reference Department, n.d.). Most research published in journal articles is highly sourced by a panel or editorial board of experts and specialists in that field. They examine the research quality before the article is allowed to be published. This system of review allows people to trust the reliability of the research (Johnson, K., n.d.).
Here are some examples of journal articles about astronomy:
Description: This journal was founded in 1970 and is the only journal devoted to the history and service of astronomy from earliest times to the present. Its subject matter covers the relevant branches of mathematics and physics, and the use of historical records (Van Helden, A., 2014).
Description: This is a peer-reviewed natural science journal that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth’s atmosphere. It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe (Mota, D. F., 2012).
