This should come for CDI in August 2023.

Yes, this would be very helpful!

Once this differentiation is achieved, increasing the ranking priority of magazines (so some magazines and trade publications appear on the first page of results among the peer-reviewed journal articles and books) would be helpful.

Adding to the votes as our college faculty have been asking for this resource type since we moved to Primo VE 6 months ago. Summon had it so they don't understand why it is now missing.

'Filter resource type by magazines' did not make it though round two in NERS.

As a community college librarian, I couldn't agree more with all the reasons already stated for limiters or filters to segregate content from magazines and trade publications! Seems to me that discovery is incomplete without this capability.

Until this feature is added, here's a suggestion re a Gale and an EBSCO product: Gale General OneFile seems to favor magazine results over other types on numerous searches I have tried, with no need to limit or filter. With EBSCO MasterFile, there's the extra step of first limiting the Publication Type to Periodical - and then filtering the Source Type to Magazines. Anecdotally speaking, both products seem to contain more magazine content than journal. I haven't, however, seen a way to limit searches to or filter results by content from trade publications (if someone can prove me wrong, please post!).

Need to do this to help student recognize the difference in source types.

Separating out types of articles is critical. I work at a polytechnic and would appreciate the option to isolate trade publications. I also find that in some topic areas my search results are spammed by low quality 'news' articles that are difficult to filter out.

A magazine option in Primo would be brilliant. Currently our "OneSearch" is still a "TwoSearch" due to this limitation.

A limiter added for Trade Publications and magazines would be great!

This is badly needed, particularly when you work at a polytechnic like I do.

I have already struggled with this one. Sometimes an instructor will ask for at least one magazine article, and it is difficult to direct them in OneSearch. I've ended up demonstrating Academic Search Complete (which has a magazine limiter) for this purpose, but it's clunky way to solve this problem. Also, some students need to see coverage that is not so advanced, and magazine articles can fit the bill. I vote for the limiter.

Absolutely need more granular breakdown of periodical types. There is a huge difference in magazine, trade and PR journal content and this is a critical understanding for students who are new to academic research.
Removing the peer reviewed journal filter still gives open-access (mostly DOAJ) content. These results are overwhelming for many lower level college,and frustrating for any user who wants to use library resources for general info or a quick read.

More granular faceting of article results is needed. Adding Magazine, Trade Publication, etc. would help with this.

Since it is possible to exclude "Peer reviewed journals" from a set of article results, it seems that the ability to facet to include only magazines or trade publications wouldn't be much of a stretch.

First page or so of search results for article searches seem to be solely from peer-reviewed publications. These types of articles can be intimidating to novice researchers who need to gain context and build background knowledge on a topic before they can develop a thesis.

I work at a community college library and the librarians on staff all agree that adding a magazine article as a limiter under the resource type menu would be very helpful to students who need to find magazine articles for assignments. At a two year college the focus is not always solely on using journal articles for assignments. I would also like to see a limiter added for trade/industry publications. I know from my work with the Hospitality dept. that these type of publications are the "go to" place for information for people in hospitality-related occupations. It is important to educate students about the importance of trade/industry publications since they often contain articles on specific topics not found elsewhere.

Also agree with commenter below about trade pubs.

Yes please! Article is too broad of a category to be helpful. Students have a very difficult time differentiating between resource types - particularly articles - there's a lot of research around this. I would also like to see trade publication. Researchers use popular publications - sometimes they are the best choice - it would be great to help students find them!
