Etymology

The word 'journal' originates from the Old French 'jurnal', meaning 'daily', which in turn comes from the Latin word 'diurnalis' meaning 'daily'. The concept of keeping a journal as a personal record dates back centuries, with famous historical figures like Anne Frank and Samuel Pepys known for their detailed journals. In the academic sense, journals have been a vital source of scholarly communication and knowledge dissemination.
