An '''online magazine''' is a [[magazine]] published on the [[Internet]], through [[bulletin board system]]s and other forms of public computer networks. One of the first magazines to convert from a print magazine format to being online only was the [[computer magazine]] ''[[Datamation]]''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Datamation|url=https://www.datamation.com/|access-date=24 March 2015|publisher=Datamation 4}}</ref> Some online magazines distributed through the [[World Wide Web]] call themselves '''webzines'''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/webzine |title=Webzine &#124; Define Webzine at Dictionary.com |publisher=Dictionary.reference.com |access-date=2012-03-02}}</ref> An '''ezine''' <ref>{{Cite https://www.neperos.com/user/eZine|access-date=2 October 2022}}</ref>(also spelled '''e-zine''') is a more specialized term appropriately used for small magazines and newsletters distributed by any electronic method, for example, by electronic mail (e-mail/email, see [[Zine]]).<ref>{{Cite CD.com|webzine|access-date=24 March 2015}}</ref> Some social groups may use the terms '''cyberzine''' and '''hyperzine''' when referring to electronically distributed resources. Similarly, some online magazines may refer to themselves as "electronic magazines" or "e-magazines" to reflect their readership demographics or to capture alternative terms and spellings in online searches.
 
An online magazine shares some features with a blog and also with [[online newspapers]], but can usually be distinguished by its approach to editorial control. Magazines typically have editors or editorial boards who review submissions and perform a quality control function to ensure that all material meets the expectations of the publishers (those investing time or money in its production) and the readership.
