Dieter, he's talking about JA, not JA2 
Here's a spoiler to help find the scientific journal:
Toggle SpoilerIt's in sector 12 (Lucas' laboratory), in the NW corner of the building. However, enemy will blow up the safe containing the journal once they detect you in the sector. The journal is not important in terms of completing the game, but if you really want to get it, you have to be stealthy until you have either retrieved the contents of the safe or disabled the explosion trap. Check the following link for detailed tips on how to do that. I remember having replayed that sector a lot of times before I managed to get the journal intact. Iirc, there was no prize for returning the journal to brenda, and your day will end when you find the journal, so try to get it in the afternoon just before your day would end anyway.
Here's a thorough guide to JA. It contains a lot of information about quests, sectors, items, traps etc. WARNING! Major spoilers too!

HeadrockYou know, I don't remember - what's the advantage of actually getting that journal? I remember managing to grab it once (with the combination to the safe) but I let it blow up every other time...
It's been a while since I played the game last time, but I'm pretty sure the journal didn't give any advantage to you in actual gameplay. When you give it to Brenda, she says something about Santino having made some notes to the journal about reproducing the fallow trees. I suppose this is only meant to give a little role-playing feel to the game, if you want to help mankind by giving them an unlimited supply of fallow sap. I'm 99% sure you won't get any dollar reward for accomplishing this quest.

HeadrockIs it possible that it changes the ending a little?
Maybe, but I can't tell, cause I've always retrieved the journal, however painful it may be to play that sector over and over again until you actually succeed in getting it :wb:

FastZFound Brenda.
I sneaked with two guys to the backdoor of the building at sector 24. We didn't fire one shot.
And there she was: lying on the floor, dead as a dodo.
What went wrong?
Either one of these:
1) You have been detected in the sector before you entered the building and the enemies killed her. If this was the case, you would've seen the shot. However, this is unlikely if you didn't engage in combat.
2) Too many days have passed since she was captured. Some guides I've read, suggested that she would be killed if you can't find her in about five days after the capture. I haven't experienced this myself though. Anyway, could this be what happened to you?

Thanks. I found it. I wondered what that red dot on the map was: it was the sick tree.
