Read a random definition: canon

A quick definition of journal:

A journal is a book where you write down things that happen every day. It can also be a record of what a group of people, like a government, does every day. For example, the U.S. Constitution says that each part of the government has to keep a journal of what they do. On a ship, a journal is a book that tells you where the ship went during its trip.

A more thorough explanation:

A journal is a book where daily entries or events are recorded. The term "journal" can also refer to:

  • Statutes: A daily record of the proceedings and transactions of a legislative body or organization. For example, the U.S. Constitution requires each House to keep a journal of its proceedings and publish it from time to time.
  • Maritime law: A book kept on board a ship/vessel that contains an account of the ship's course during the voyage.

For instance, in the context of statutes, the journal is a record of the activities of a legislative body. The U.S. Constitution requires each House to keep a journal of its proceedings, including the yeas and nays of the members on any question. In the context of maritime law, the journal is a record of the ship's course during the voyage.
