If the library doesn't hold a book or e-book, which you would like to read - or there are not enough copies - please let your subject librarian know. Fill in the online book suggestion form or email Diarmuid Kennedy (email: d.g.kennedy@qub.ac.uk). Your subject librarian will consider every book / e-book purchase suggestion and, if appropriate, the book will be ordered for the library. We will keep you informed about the outcome of your book suggestion. |
A journal is a specific type of academic publication. Like magazines they are published regularly throughout the year. This may be monthly, biannually or quarterly and each part is referred to as a journal issue.
Each journal issue contains a collection of articles (short pieces of written work). Articles are written by scholars and academics.
Many journals are now published electronically, but the convention is to reference them using the print details (i.e., volume, issue and page numbers). For literature and languages some articles you need will only be available in print. Depending on the referencing style you are using, they will look something like this:
References to journal articles never include the name of the publisher or the place of publication.
