Journals include serials, newspapers, magazines, periodicals and
yearbooks. These may be available in print or electronic form. To
find a journal article you need to search the source of the article.
If you have an article citation, make sure that you have identified
the title of the journal as distinct from the title of the article.
For Example:
James C Anderson, "Business marketing: understanding what
customers value", Harvard Business Review, 76 (6), Nov/Dec
1998: 53-62.
The source of this article in the example above is: Harvard
Business Review.
