SURI Block 3 - Get to Know Scholarly Publishing!
In-Person
What is the point of scholarly articles? Who even reads them? In this session, we will explore the basics of scholarly publishing, contextualizing what articles are, why they are mostly available in databases, and how to get information about them using library tools and other sources. We will also briefly mention predatory journals, which you will want to be on the lookout for.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
explain what scholarly articles are, including why they are written and where they are published.
get a better sense of why the library has different sources than what you can find on the open web.
identify characteristics of predatory journals.
These sessions are reserved for students participating in the SURI program.
