Using Popular Magazines as Sources in Academic Papers


Magazine articles can be useful to you for the following reasons:

  • They usually provide very current information on a topic at the time they're published
  • They're written for the general reader
  • They can provide a general overview of a topic
  • They often have photos, charts, maps, other graphics to illustrate concepts covered

Here are some examples of databases that index articles in popular magazines (these are available to JHU users only):
