Articles Read (List)

This page lists the articles I have read over the years that I have found (to varying degrees) useful for intellectual and, in some cases, practical purposes. As with the Bibliography, this list was originally made for personal reference and is now shared online as references to literature of substance. I have categorized the articles and written brief descriptions for the main categories and sub-categories, in order to concisely highlight their most common characteristics (i.e. a generalization).

Article Categories

The following is a list of the main categories (each jump-linked), with concise and generalized descriptions:

Sociology
Study of the structure, functioning (mechanisms), and development of Society.
History
Systematic account of events, with degrees of interpretation.
Psychology
Study of the mind (mechanisms) and behavior (personality).
Philosophy
Contemplation and/or investigation of the nature of being, towards the development of knowledge and wisdom (understanding).
Religion & Mythology
System of belief and/or worship (religion); and ancient traditional story of gods or heroes—especially offering an explanation for a fact or phenomenon (mythology).
Communication & Media
Conveyance of meaning (communication) and mediums of transmission (media).
Science
Concerning knowledge attained by observation and experiment.
Exposé
Revelation of events (activities of particular people).
Literary Study
Examination of literature, in its various aspects.
Personal Development
Information towards betterment in a particular aspect of oneself.
Entertainment
Concerning audio/visual media, including commonly broadcasted events.
Reference
Being a dictionary or guide on a subject or theme.

Sources

Articles are either those published on websites (such as online newspapers, magazines, and blogs, some of which are linked) or formatted as PDF documents. Most articles can be found by searching the title and author, but you can contact me if there are any you can’t find.*

*I always download PDFs and make copies of website articles to read, make highlights, and keep for future reading and reference, as well as the books in digital format; so I have the files of almost every title on the read lists.

Article Types

I’ve found that articles come in several varieties, which I’ll classify as follows:

Long-form: Extended newspaper or magazine articles.
Scholarly Journals: Written for studious minds and often based on many referenced articles and books, and sometimes in the form of a methodological study.
Essays: Either a standalone piece or a chapter taken from of a book. (Can be considered as in between a long-form and journal article).
University Papers: Tend to be very long (sometimes over 100 pages) and often with a Contents page. (Can be considered as scholarly articles that sometimes approach the form of a small book).
Publication Documents: Usually produced by institutes and organizations in the form of an extended article or small book.
Small Books: Roughly, any ‘book’ of less than 100 pages (Not listed among the books because the length is too short to generate the experience of reading a book).

Note: For a key to the various markers I’ve added to the details of each article, see the Added Details section at the bottom of this page.

150+ Useful Symbols and Abbreviations For Note Taking, by Isabella, Oct 18th 2018, 7ESL.com, 4pgs

Added Details

The following are personally useful measurements and classifications that I have added after the titles of the articles.

Note: Aside from the length and format, the markers listed below are those I began adding gradually; hence many articles (generally the categorized ones) have not been marked with the other signifiers.

Length: “[L]” signifies what I consider to be a “Long Article”, being an article of 10 or more pages—whilst articles not thusly marked range from 1-9 pages.
Pages: The number preceding “pgs” signifies the approximate length of the article. However, since the text formats of different sources vary greatly, I have adjusted the actual number of pages to represent the word count per page of an average pocket paperback book (e.g. those published by Penguin books)—that is, pages that feature a slightly higher-than-average word count. For example, for a PDF that has very small fonts or double columns I may adjust (roughly, by sight) each actual page to 1.5 pages—hence the PDF will contain less pages than I have attributed to them, but each of those pages should take approximately 1.5 times as long to read as a page in a pocket paperback book.
Format: “[PDF]” signifies an article that of that media format and which, generally, almost always originated in that format (although sometimes I found them as conversions from a webpage format). Articles not thusly marked were found in webpage format, generally having originated from there but sometimes having been imported from another format (e.g. a chapter of a book); and I began to add links to the webpage articles I read.
Illustrations & References: “ill.” signifies an article that features illustrations; “refs.” signifies that it features references; while “+” signifies that the illustrations or references are to be considered additional material relative to the adjusted page count (i.e. the absence of the “+” signifies that the material is included in the page count).
Rating: A number ranging from 1-4 – for example, 2\4 – signifies the degree of substance/significance I found the article to provide for my interests; and which thus is not intended to represent its ‘quality’, as the rating reflects how useful I found the article at the time I read it. I have since enhanced the rating format by using a decimalized figure raging from 1.0-4.0, in order to include gradients of 0.5 and thereby more accurately classify the degrees of usefulness I encounter.
