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.
Many periodicals are written for a general audience whose readers are not expected to have specialized knowledge or training. We usually call these periodicals magazines. However, probably even more periodicals are written for specialists and have articles that are difficult for readers who lack that background.
