What is the difference between the electronic edition of academic journals and traditional paper journals?

The difference between the electronic version of academic journals and traditional paper journals lies mainly in the different publishing forms and carriers. Electronic journals are the types of journals that have emerged with the development of the Internet in recent years. It spreads quickly, conveniently and quickly. Its main carrier is the Internet, through which readers can read or download the required periodicals or documents. Paper periodicals refer to periodicals with paper as the carrier, which usually need to be purchased at the post office and mailed to subscribers.

In addition, electronic journals and paper journals are also different in query methods. Electronic periodicals, like paper periodicals, must be filed with the State Press and Publication Administration, so regular electronic periodicals and paper periodicals can be inquired at the General Press and Publication Administration.
