Journals, magazines, and newspapers are types of periodicals (publications that are published periodically, or in a serial fashion.) Periodicals include daily newspapers, weekly news magazines, monthly popular interest magazines, trade publications, and academic journals, which may be published only a few times each year. A publication of a periodical is usually called an "issue." Those are organized into volumes (sometimes bound, print volumes that libraries still have!). Different types of periodicals have different purposes and features, which affects their articles.
