Industry Publications

These publications contain news, feature articles, opinion pieces, and occasionally, research articles related to business and technology. They are typically NOT considered to be peer-reviewed journals. If you select a research article from one of these publications, be sure to consult with your professor and the librarian to ensure it meets all assignment requirements for your project.

Peer-Reviewed Journals

These publications focus on publishing peer-reviewed research. Be aware that they may also publish commentary, editorials, book reviews, and other forms of writing that are not research articles. It is important to thoroughly read the article to ensure it is peer-reviewed research before using it for your project. If you have questions about an article, consult with the librarian or your professor.
