If you don't have a specific article already in mind and just need items for your topic, think about:
Newspapers and popular magazines are good sources for current events and controversies. Scholarly journals publish articles reporting research results or reviewing existing research findings.
Example: You are writing a paper about immigration debates in America. You want to explore current news coverage and find information from experts about policy debates.
What you need: | Who would write it: | Where it would be published: |
---|---|---|
Current news coverage on immigration debates | Journalists | news magazines, newspapers, podcasts |
Policy debate information from experts | Scholars | scholarly journals |
