You can find journal articles and other material using databases. Journals are academic magazines that are published regularly. Some journals are focused on news and trade e.g. ITNow
Other journals publish original research. The most well regarded journals use a quality control procedure called peer-review. These are considered to contain material of the highest academic quality. An example of a peer-reviewed journal is: Journal of the ACM
