We’re going to be showcasing some of our journal titles this year by a Journal of the Week blog post. They may be popular titles, or subject specialist, or especially for a particular group of healthcare workers.
But what are journals and why do you need them?
Journals are the source of articles written by academics, researchers and experts in their subject areas. They are published on a regular basis as an issue, in print and/ or online. Most of our journals are available online. You should read articles on a regular basis to stay up-to-date with changes and research in your area of practice, to support your professional development or to find good quality information for your studies.
Articles may be written
about:
- New research
- Best practice
- Professional development
- Discipline or specialty topics
- Expert commentary or opinion
Articles are often peer-reviewed to ensure that content is trustworthy and of good quality.
