Okay kiddo, so a journal is a book where people write down different ideas and thoughts they have about a certain topic. The journal of consciousness studies is a special kind of journal where people write down their ideas and studies about something called consciousness.
Now, consciousness is a big word that means being aware of things around you. For example, when you wake up in the morning and feel refreshed, that's you being aware of your surroundings or things you're experiencing.
Scientists and other smart people write articles for this journal about what they think consciousness is and how it works. They want to understand how we can be aware of things and what happens in our brains that makes that happen.
It's kind of like a special book where people share their ideas and thoughts about the magic of being aware of the world.
