Articles can come from a variety of publications including scholarly journals, magazines or newspapers. The way you use these articles in your writing can be determined by where they were published and their purpose.
For a paper on business, analytical articles from journals or magazines can be useful to incorporate into your paper because they provide research, commentary and statistics on trends and company actions. Newspaper articles can provide background information on the movements of a company but won't provide a broader analysis of that act or the industry.
Since they are shorter than books, useful articles can be easier to identify and include as references in your paper. Remember, evaluating where they are published and who wrote them are important steps in determining their authority before quoting them in your paper as well.
