I'm not sure what the conditions are for unlocking these, as I noticed that on the game completion screen, it says Text Logs Awarded.
Edit - 05/02/2023
Just finished New Game Plus having collected all of the Marker Fragments. Still missing 3 logs in the side missions tab. Have no idea how you get those. Haven't found any information online about them.

While collecting 75 logs feels like a big task, doing a full playthrough of Dead Space will see this achievement unlocked automatically, even if you don’t collect any of the optional Text Logs or Audio Logs. That’s because this number includes the dozens of conversations between Isaac and other characters, which can’t be missed, and are automatically added to your log tracker.

In a slight twist to the original game, logs can also be found on terminals on the walls and you need to click it to retrieve the data from the USG Ishimura. They can be identified by an envelope hologram.
Logs can be found all over, but some are just interactive and you will not need to put any effort in to collect them. The key with collecting the logs is to be thorough; enter every room that is available to you and make sure you’ve collected everything before moving on.
For me, the achievement for 75 logs unlocked towards the end of Chapter 5 and the 150 logs towards the end of Chapter 10; so it should be easily done if you’re thorough. Logs can the tracked on the fourth tab of your RIG.
Good luck!
