For academic research, it is often important to use peer-reviewed (or refereed) journals rather than popular magazines. Peer review is the process by which a journal article is evaluated by experts in the field. An example of a peer-reviewed journal is Caribbean Quarterly. An example of a popular magazine is People. In database results, limit to peer-reviewed or refereed journals.
