Periodicals

Periodicals are publications issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. They are journals, magazines, and newspapers, and are important sources for up-to-date information in all disciplines.

UTEP library has periodicals available electronically through our subscribed databases. To find out if we have online access to particular periodicals conduct an E-Journal search by title, or browse by subject.  To seach the library's printed serial holdings use the search journal title in our library catalog. 

 

Remote access to most of the Library’s subscription electronic serial publications is available to current UTEP faculty, staff, and students only via the following methods: 1) Campus VPN (broadband access only) and 2) the Library’s Proxy Server.  See http://www.utep.edu/library/research/

 

What is a Scholarly Peer Reviewed Journal ???

Scholarly journals have original research or analysis written by experts within the discipline. The main purpose of scholarly journals is to share research results, theories, and literature reviews.

Empirical studies include:

  • Author's credentials
  • Abstract (summary)
  • Introduction
  • Methods
  • Results
  • Discussion
  • References

Literature reviews, theoretical articles, and other types of articles have different formats.

Peer-reviews journals are scholarly journals that have all articles read by other experts in the field before they are accepted for publication.
