• A journal is a periodical, devoted to a specific field of study, in which the articles are written by researchers and other experts.
• As a periodical (published periodically), a journal may be published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, or half yearly.
• A journal, either in printed or in electronic format, has a unique identifier called International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)

WHAT IS A JOURNAL?
4
• A self-contained nonfiction prose composition on a fairly narrow topic or subject, written by one or more authors and published under a separate title in a collection or periodical containing other works of the same form.
• The length of a periodical article is often a clue to the type of publication--magazine articles are generally less than five pages long; scholarly journal articles, longer than five pages. Also, journal articles often include a brief abstract of the content. Periodical articles are indexed, usually by author and subject, in periodical indexes and abstracting services, known as bibliographic databases when available electronically. Compare with column, editorial, and essay.
