Business News and Articles - Get Started

Business research and news databases aggregate different types of information:
- Mainstream business news articles from sources like The Economist or Fortune magazine.
- Academic articles from sources like the Academy of Management Journal, also known as "peer review" sources.
  - Peer review is a quality-control evaluation process; scholars submit articles for publication in an academic journal and their submissions are reviewed by expert peers.
News databases do not include academic sources and vary in scope including:
- Global business news
- Regional business news
- General news on all topics including business.
Industry and trade association publications contain articles for professionals working/investing in a specific industry or trade like industrial hose manufacturing or pet food.
Specialty academic research databases focus on areas like agricultural economics and hospitality and tourism.
