1.3 Popular, Scholarly, and Trade
Popular
publications inform and entertain the general public.
Magazines like Time and Rolling Stone and books like
Michael Jackson : Music's Living Legend by Rosemary Wallner, distributed by Rockbottom
Books, are examples of popular sources.
Scholarly publications disseminate research and academic
discussion among professionals within disciplines. Journals such as
Memory & Cognition and Journal of Abnormal Psychology are examples of
scholarly sources.
Trade publications which are neither scholarly nor popular
sources, though sometimes are a combination of both, allow
practitioners in specific industries to share market and production information that improves their businesses.
