Journal Of RecordA journal of record is a newspaper or journal that applies the highest standards of journalism and is a highly trusted source of information. The New York Times is probably the best known journal of record. Being known as a journal of record is commercially advantageous and can increase a journal's circulation. Technical and scientific journals of record can become required reading for an entire industry or science. For this reason, claims from a journal itself that it is a journal of record should be treated with caution. Official journals of record Many countries have official journals of record that act as government newspapers. These journals act as official sources for government orders, regulations, appointments, etc. London Gazette The London Gazette is the title of the English official organ for announcements by the government, and is published every Tuesday and Friday. It contains all proclamations, orders of council, promotions and appointments to commissions in the army and navy, all appointments to offices of state, and such other orders, rules and regulations as are directed by act of parliament to be published therein. It also contains notices of proceedings in bankruptcy, dissolutions of partnership, etc. By the Documentary Evidence Act 1868, the production of a copy of the Gazette is prima facie evidence of royal proclamations and government orders and regulations. Canada Gazette The Canada Gazette acts as the newspaper of Canada's federal government. It is freely available over the Internet and its Portable Document Format (PDF) version is considered official. Wall Street Journal Many businesses base interest rates on the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on a certain pre-determined day. External links
