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 an online only magazine was the [[computer magazine]] ''[[Datamation]]''.<ref>{{cite news |title=Datamation |publisher= |url=https://www.datamation.com/ |access-date=24 March 2015 |archive-date=16 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190616061855/https://www.datamation.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Some online magazines distributed through the [[World Wide Web]] call themselves '''webzines'''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Webzine Definition & Meaning |url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/webzine |access-date=2012-03-02 |publisher=Dictionary.com |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304214823/http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/webzine |url-status=live }}</ref> An '''ezine''' (also spelled '''e-[[zine]]''') is a more specialized term appropriately used for small magazines and newsletters distributed by any electronic method, for example, by email.<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 "[[Electronics (magazine)|electronic magazines]]", "digital magazines", or "e-magazines" to reflect their readership demographics or to capture alternative terms and spellings in online searches.
