Professional organization websites can provide career information, industry statistics, and give you insights into the issues facing their industry. Many welcome student members or sponsor scholarships for education in their industry.
Another resource both for industry research and career research are trade publications. These are written for—and often by—people working in whatever industry the magazine or journal covers.
Characteristics of trade publications include:
* focus usually on news and trends but can include research
* articles usually short and may not have authors or their affiliations listed
* filled with advertisements aimed at professionals in the field
* often expensive
* NOT peer-reviewed
