The ALA Glossary of Library Terms defines them as follows:
• Magazine: “A periodical for general reading, containing articles on various subjects by different authors....”
• Journal: “a periodical issued by an institution, corporation, or learned society, containing current news and reports of activities and work in a particular field.”
Journal: A scholarly journal contains original research articles by people who are experts in a particular field and who share their research with other professionals in order to stimulate discussion and debate. The articles are first “peer reviewed,” that is, there is always an editor
ial board which will critique each article for professional content and integrity. The articles are based on research done by the author and usually contain an abstract (a summary of the article) and a bibliography. The scholarly journal is published by professional organizations such as the American Psychological Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Reading Association, the American Society of Animal Science, the Modern Language Association, or by leading scholarly publishing houses such as Haworth Press, Sage Publications, Pergamon Press, Elsevier, etc. Scholarly journals are usually published monthly or quarterly.
