Magazines Established In 2002
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three.

Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''.
