This article refers to online equivalents of journals. For online diaries, see Online diary and Blog.

An online journal is a publication of a serial nature that make use of digital distribution methods. Most parallel the print approach of producing editions periodically, but it is equally possible for them to accept works one at a time on a continuous intake basis. An online journal shares some features with a blog, but can usually be distinguished by its approach to editorial control. Journals of all kinds typically have editors or editorial boards who review submissions and perform a quality control function to ensure that all material appearing in the journal meets the expectations of those investing time or money in its production. [1]

Typical examples of online journals are literary journals, news and popular interest magazines, and ones devoted to specialty subjects such as professional or academic publications.

For academic online journals, see electronic journals.
