In this meaning, you will almost always find 'Journal' (journal) in the context of science, research, or a specific field. Signal words are 'wissenschaftlich' (scientific), 'medizinisch' (medical), or verbs such as 'veröffentlichen' (to publish) and 'publizieren' (to publish).

magazine / journal
Die Zeitschrift is the general term for a regularly published publication. Das Journal can mean the same thing, but it more often sounds like specialist terminology or is a fixed part of a particular title. In everyday situations, „Zeitschrift“ is usually the better choice; for a professional specialist publication, „Journal“ also works.
