What is Journal?

A journal, in academic contexts, refers to a peer-reviewed publication in which researchers present original studies, reviews, and analyses across virtually every field of inquiry. Students encounter journal articles in courses ranging from nursing and public health to ethics, education, history, and social sciences. Working with journals teaches critical reading skills, because published research demands that readers evaluate methodology, assess the credibility of findings, and understand how authors position their arguments within broader scholarly conversations. The ability to locate, interpret, and respond to journal sources is foundational to undergraduate and graduate academic work.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches to engaging with journal sources. Many take a review or synthesis format, summarizing findings and implications from multiple articles on topics such as bilingual education, high school dropout rates among Native Americans, father absence and adolescent drug use, and oral health. Others focus on a single article or study, analyzing how researchers frame their data and what their conclusions support. Some papers extend into annotated bibliography form, evaluating sources on subjects like race, class, gender, and ethical issues in business management, while others connect journal research to professional practice contexts such as nursing or school counseling.

A strong essay engaging with journal literature requires a focused thesis that moves beyond summary toward analysis or argument — explaining not just what researchers found, but why those findings matter or where they fall short. Evidence drawn directly from the article's data, methodology, and stated implications carries the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating a journal article as simply true rather than as a constructed argument subject to scrutiny.

Tobacco Advertising Icons: Marlboro Man and Joe Camel

This sort of mass media advertising directly led to countless teen smokers picking up the habit in their adolescence. Major tobacco companies deny that these ads were targeted towards children or teens, a denial which created a tense debate between Big Tobacco and American parents, and although “the tobacco industry denies that their marketing is targeted at young nonsmokers … it seems more probable that tobacco advertising and promotion influences the attitudes of nonsmoking adolescents, and makes them more likely to try smoking” (Lovato, Linn, Stead & Best 344). The debate was settled when the United States Congress intervened over ten years ago and facing enormous pressure and scrutiny, all major tobacco companies have abandoned their once beloved logos. The demise of the Marlboro Man and Joe Camel is a welcome shift from the sinister advertising tactics used by tobacco companies in the past, but as we have learned from past regulation efforts, “over the past half-century, cigarette manufacturers have found ways to successfully sell their product despite increasing advertising restrictions and will no doubt try to continue to do so in the face of this new legislation” (James and Olstad 1). The impact from these icons on our popular culture will never be forgotten, however, as millions of people each year die from cigarette related illnesses. These pop culture icons, no matter how horrifying they are in a way, will always be remembered as among the most remarkable and memorable advertising strategies of all time.
