Electronic journals may be one of the following:
- the electronic equivalent of an existing print journal, or
- the electronic equivalent of an existing print journal but with additional material that is available in the online version only, e.g. links or media, or
- the electronic equivalent of an existing print journal but with less material, e.g. it may lack tables, graphics, photographs, colour, or pagination, or
- an online journal only, in other words, it does not have a print equivalent.
