A journal is a regular publication (monthly, yearly, etc.) in which you will find academic and research articles. The articles present current research and are critiqued by experts before publication, so you can be confident of their quality.
Ejournals are digital versions of these serial publications. Broadly speaking they come in two forms: they are either 'born digital' or are digital reproductions of physical works.
