The term “online journal” often lumps together all journals available on the Internet. However, not all magazines have the benefits of digital magazines.

Many are available to read online and provide the same experience as their print counterparts.

While online magazines can be copies of print editions, they can also be created specifically for online readers.

Online magazines have fewer features than the digital magazines described above. As a result, they are easier to format and quicker to bring to market.

Examples of online magazines:

  • Online copies of print magazines (mostly PDFs formatted for tablets and other devices).
  • University alumni journals.
  • Association journals.
  • Online journals for specialty subjects such as science and medicine.

Why are online journals useful for companies?

There are many benefits for a company to have its own online magazine. Some of them include:

  • Provides more exposure for your company.
  • Helps establish you as a thought leader in your specific industry.
  • Provides value to your customers and prospects as they make decisions and solve problems.

As the world moves more and more into the digital age, online professional journals and digital magazines are becoming increasingly popular.

Younger generations who learned to use computers at a young age will continue to expect new digital products available on all their devices.
