Find Articles

Articles are written by different authors and for different readers:

Scholarly articles are written and reviewed by scholars and provide new research, analysis, or information about a specific topic. They are also sometimes called academic or peer-reviewed articles.
Magazine articles are written by professional writers for a general audience. These include magazines like Women's Health, Psychology Today and Runner's World.
Newspaper articles are written by journalists for a general audience. Local papers, like the Santa Cruz Sentinel, focus on local issues and readers. They are generally short and are written quickly to focus on the latest news.
