What's the difference between a journal and a database?
Answer
An academic journal is a scholarly publication that publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest within a given subject area (e.g. Journal of Social Psychology, American Journal of Public Health.)
A database is a collection of sources, usually pertaining to a broad subject area, which can include journals as well as books, films, and other types of sources (e.g. ScienceDirect, PsycINFO). For more on databases, journals, and how to search for articles within each, see the links below.
