Some
journals are 'born digital' in that they are solely published on the web and in a digital format, but most electronic
journals originated as print journals, which subsequently evolved to have an electronic version, while still maintaining a print component. As academic research habits have changed in line with the growth of the internet, the e-journal has come to dominate the
journals world.
Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact
factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent
articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the
journals with high impact
factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research
articles but also review
articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports.
An e-journal closely resembles a print journal in structure: there is a table of contents which lists the articles, and many electronic
journals still use a volume/issue model, although some titles now publish on a continuous basis. Online journal
articles are a specialized form of electronic document: they have the purpose of providing material for academic research and study, and they are formatted approximately like journal
articles in traditional printed journals. Often a journal article will be available for download in two formats - as a PDF and in HTML format, although other electronic file types are often supported for supplementary material.
Articles are
indexed in bibliographic databases, as well as by search engines. E-journals allow new types on content to be included in journals, for example video material, or the data sets on which research has been based.
