What is the difference between electronic databases and electronic journals?
An electronic database is usually a collection of:
- scholarly articles from electronic journals grouped by subject matter,
- statistical data or data sets, or
- news
It usually comes with a search engine or search platform and helpful features, such as email alerts, search history, etc.
An electronic journal is an electronic version of a journal. New journals may start out as electronic and does not have a print equivalent. The journal publisher will usually group the issues of the same journal together and even offer a simple search feature.
If you are conducting a comprehensive search on a specific topic, start with the databases. If you have a specific journal in mind, use the e-journal list.
