Dear Mr. Rajkumar

A "journal" is a scholarly periodical aimed at specialists and researchers. Articles are generally written by experts in the subject, using more technical language. They contain original research, conclusions based on data, footnotes or endnotes, and often an abstract or bibliography.

A "periodical" is any publication that comes out regularly or occasionally

A "magazine" is a periodical with a popular focus, i.e. aimed at the general public, and containing news, personal narratives, and opinion. Articles are often written by professional writers with or without expertise in the subject; they contain "secondary" discussion of events, usually with little documentation

 

If a journal or magazine comes out at a regular or irregular interval it may be assumed as peridical.  But all regular or irregular publications like subsequent volumes of encyclopaedias, digests etc. may not be assumed as Journals or Magazines.  So we can say periodical is a broader term as compare to journals and magazines.
