An electronic journal is a digital journal that is read and published online through the Internet. It is usually created by the journal's publishing company or independent authors and provides information to readers through the Internet. The advantage of electronic journals was that they could cross geographical and time barriers, allowing readers to access journal content anytime and anywhere, and it was more convenient to manage journal content and donations. Electronic journals can also increase the impact and popularity of journals because readers can easily access journal content through the Internet and share it with other readers.
