Specialty Definition: Journal

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A Journal (through French from late Latin diurnalis, daily) is a daily record of events or business. A private journal is usually an elaborated diary. When applied to a newspaper or other periodical the word is strictly used of one published each day; but any publication issued at stated intervals, such as a magazine or the record of the transactions of a learned society (a scientific or other academic journal), is commonly called a journal. "Journal", then, is sometimes used as a synonym for "magazine". The word "journalist" for one whose business is writing for the public press seems to be as old as the end of the 17th century.

"Journal" is particularly applied to the record, day by day, of the business and proceedings of a public body. The journals of the British houses of parliament contain an official record of the business transacted day by day in either house. The record does not take note of speeches, though some of the earlier volumes contain references to them. The journals are a lengthened account written from the "votes and proceedings" (in the House of Lords called "minutes of the proceedings"), made day by day by the assistant clerks, and printed on the responsibility of the clerk to the house, after submission to the "subcommittee on the journals." In the Commons the journal is passed by the Speaker before publication. The journals of the British House of Commons begin in the first year of the reign of Edward VI (1547), and are complete, except for a short interval under Elizabeth I. Those of the House of Lords date from the first year of Henry VIII. (1509). Before that date the proceedings in parliament were entered in the rolls of parliament, which extend from 1278 to 1503. The journals of the Lords are "records" in the judicial sense, those of the Commons are not (see Erskine May, Parliamentary Practice, 1906, pp. 201-202).

The term "journal" is used, in business, for a book in which an account of transactions is kept previous to a transfer to the ledger (see bookkeeping), and also as an equivalent to a ship's log, as a record of the daily run, observations, weather changes, etc. In mining, a journal is a record describing the various strata passed through in sinking a shaft. A particular use of the word is that, in machinery, for the parts of a shaft which are in contact with the bearingss; the origin of this meaning, which is firmly established, has not been explained.

some content from 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica

In telecommunication, the term journal has the following meanings:

  1. A chronological record of data processing operations that may be used to reconstruct a previous or an updated version of a file. Synonym log.
  2. In database management systems, the record of all stored data items that have values changed as a result of processing and manipulation of the data.

Journaling file system

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A journaling file system is a type of file system that keeps journalled metadata to avoid filesystem errors and corruption.

Problems with traditional file systems

In the process of writing data to the hard disk, a file system must write out metadata, which is information about the data on the disk, for example, the location of the data or the names of the files. If, while the file system is writing this metadata, the hard disk is interrupted by, for example, a loss of power, the metadata is not completely written out and the filesystem may be in an inconsistent state, in which the description of the data does not fully match the data itself.

One approach to fixing this problem is to run a program that scans the entire hard disk when the system is restarted, to fix an inconsistencies. Such programs include fsck on Unix and Unix-like systems, scandisk on Microsoft Windows systems, and Disk First Aid on Apple Macintosh systems. Unfortunately this method has two problems. First, rescanning the entire disk is very time consuming. Second, there is the possibility that the scanning program will encounter errors that it cannot fix and that data will be lost.

The answer: journaling file systems

Journaling file systems approach this problem by writing out a special file called a "journal", which keeps track of the transactions to the disk. Updates to the disk are then committed atomically.

If power is suddenly interrupted, a given set of updates will have either been fully committed to the filesystem, in which case there is not a problem, and the filesystem can be used immediately, or will be marked as not yet fully committed, in which case the file system driver can read the journal and fix any inconsistencies that occurred.

This is much quicker than a scan of the hard disk, and guarantees that the structure of the filesystem is always self-consistent, even if power is interrupted or the system crashes at random times, providing that the journal rollback or commit process is carried out when re-mounting the filesystem.

Note that this does not guarantee zero data loss: data or file-system changes written between the last commit and a crash may be lost, with the filesystem being effectively rolled back to the last commit point.

Some journaling filesystems journal all data, others only journal filesystem metadata.

Log-structured filesystems

Some systems go one step beyond being a conventional filesystem with an added journal; they use the journal log itself as the fundamental basis for the filesystem. These types of systems are called log-structured filesystems. As of 2003, none of the most popular filesystems are log-structured, although log-structured filesystem concepts influenced the development of the WAFL filesystem.

Magazine

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A magazine is a container for ammunition, from the french word for "store", magasin. By analogy with the above, a magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles on various subjects.


some magazines
Magazines are typically published weekly, twice-monthly or monthly, and often have some colour-printed content and coated paper. "Journal" is sometimes used in reference to a magazine.

Many weekend newspapers now incorporate 'magazine sections' with a magazine-like format.

Magazine was the name of a musical group fronted by ex-Buzzcocks member Howard Devoto in the late 1970s.

Scientific journal

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research. Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals such as Nature publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields. Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer-revieweded, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet minimum standards of quality, and scientific validity. Articles tend to be highly technical, representing the latest theoretical research and experimental results in the field of science covered by the journal. They are often incomprehensible to anyone except for researchers in the field.

Note: there are many good science magazines that are not scientific journals, including New Scientist and Scientific American. They are not be listed here.

Current issues in scientific journal publishing

It has been argued that peer-reviewed paper journals are in the process of being replaced by electronic publishing. There is usually a delay of several months after an article is written before it is published in a journal and this makes journals not an ideal format for disseminating the latest research. In some fields such as astronomy, the role of the journal at disseminating the latest research has largely been replaced by preprint databases such as archivX.org. However, scientific journals still provide an important role in quality control, archiving papers, and establishing scientific credit. In general, the electronic material uploaded to preprint database are still intended for eventual publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

There is an article titled "Online or Invisible?" (see link at end of article) uses statistical arguments to claim that electronic publishing provides wider dissemination. A number of journals have, while retaining their peer review process, established electronic versions or even moved entirely to electronic publication.

Types of journal articles

There are four types of journal articles:

  1. Letters (which should not be confused with letters to the editor) are short usually one or two page descriptions of current research findings.
  2. Articles are usually between five and twenty pages and are a complete descriptions of current original research finding, but there are considerable variations between scientific fields and journals: 80-page articles are not rare in mathematics or theoretical computer science.
  3. Supplemental articles contain a large volume of tabular data that is the result of current research and may be dozens or hundreds of pages with mostly numerical data.
  4. Review articles do not cover original research but rather are long in-depth overviews of current research work on a particular topic.

The format of letters and articles are generally fixed. They begin with an abstract which is a two to four paragraph summary of the paper. An introduction which describes the background for the research including a discussion of similar research. A results and discussion section which describes the results and implications of the research, and a conclusion section which places the research in context and describes avenues for further exploration.

In addition to the above, some scientific journals such as Science will include a news section where scientific developments (often involving political issues) are described. These articles are often written by science journalists and not by scientists. In addition some journals will include an editorial section and a section for letters to the editor. Interestingly, while these are articles published within a journal, they are not generally regarded as scientific journal articles because they have not been peer reviewed.

See List of scientific journals for a listing of significant journals.

Miller cast a reproachful look upon his tormentor, and answered, absently: "When it is ajar," and threw himself from a high promontory into the sea. Thus perished in his pride the most famous humorist of antiquity, leaving to mankind a heritage of woe!
