CHEM 2900 - Principles of Chemistry Research
How do Science and J. Am. Chem. Soc. compare?
How are these publications similar? How are they different?
How can you use these different types of publication in your information seeking, as a student of chemistry?

Chemistry News, general press articles
The online news sources below are made available by major scientific organizations and are written to inform and inspire professionals in biochemistry. These articles have authority (from where? why?) but their purpose is different from empirical research articles and review articles. These writings do not go through the peer review process (why not? who does review the articles?) How might these help undergrad chemistry students with their research?
