How Scholarly Articles are Published
Or, What binge watching can tell you about academic research.
An article (like an episode) contains a complete argument (like a plot) but is also part of a larger scholarly conversation (like a narrative arc).
A year’s worth of articles (like episodes) adds up to a volume (like a season).
These regularly released collections are part of an overall journal (like a series). Some have completed their run, and some are ongoing.
Journals (like series) are made available by databases (like networks). Some are focused on a particular topic. Some have a wide variety of content.
OneSearch searches nearly all of the CSUN University Library’s databases at the same time. OneSearch also finds books, videos, music, and more. If you need help finding a specific article, choosing a database, or doing any kind of research, call 818-677-2285 or text 818-900-2965. Librarians are here to help.
