Life and Health Sciences Research Support: Journals

What is a Journal?

Journals (also known as magazines, serials or periodicals) are published regularly (weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually) and contain the most recent information on a subject.
The Library subscribes to a wide range of journals in both print and electronic formats.
