University students have to come across multiple types of written assignments and journal writing is one of them. The majority of students do not know the difference between journal writing and dissertation writing. To the information of most of the students, a journal is a bit different from dissertation writing. The main difference between the two is the word count, a dissertation abstract consists of 120-350 words, whereas the abstract of a Journal should be no longer from 150-250 words. According to every dissertation editor Dubai, a literature review that is written in a journal is much shorter than one that is written in a dissertation.
