[Literature Type] Journal Articles [Access] Citations to articles published in scientific journals are located using print or online indexing and abstracting services.

Journals are publications that are issued on a regular schedule and that present detailed reports of current research in a particular field. Some journals cover research in all areas of science and technology, while others concentrate on a narrow subject area. The importance of science journals lies in their social, archival and dissemination roles in scientific communication. All articles submitted to scholarly scientific journals are subjected to a peer review process which helps to maintain the quality of the scientific literature.
