What is a Periodical? Anything that is published at regular intervals throughout the year such as a magazine, journal, or newspaper: Magazine: A magazine is a collection of articles and images about diverse topics of popular interest and current events.
Often the information contained in a periodical article will never appear elsewhere, either in a book or other work. Ease of use: Periodicals can often provide good summary information on a field. For a short research paper, information from articles may be easier to manage than a lengthy book.
