There is a long-standing consensus on WP to reserve the word journal for things like diaries and, especially, academic journals, which are peer-reviewed scholarly works. This does not mean that "magazine" is pejorative of somehow means something of lesser value. It just serves clarity in what we are talking about. This publication is not peer-reviewed and, although it obviously publishes high-quality articles with much science in its contents, it does not cover original scientific research. Hence, it's a magazine (or, if one prefers, a professional or trade magazine; the last edit summary by Philafrenzy -"for dealers and collectors"- would suggest that the latter is most appropriate). --Randykitty (talk) 19:09, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
