  Understanding Periodicals:
Scholarly versus Non-scholarly Sources

 

Sensational Publications

 

Sensational publications are intended to entertain and stir curiosity. These publications also have many photographs with citations rarely, if ever, given. The articles are short and use simple language, and the authors of these articles assume a certain level of gullibility and superstition from their readers.
