Journalology is the study of scientific journals, which are publications that contain reports about research and experiments. These journals aim to make new scientific findings available to other researchers, helping to advance knowledge in a particular field. For example, a journal might publish a research article that looks at how a new medicine affects the body. Journalology looks at how these journals are made, how the research presented in them is reviewed, and the ways that journals can be improved to help scientists share their findings.
