The Role of the Paper-Based Journal in an Era of Electronic Information

Summary This presentation is a review of the changes in publishing methods that electronic publishing and distribution will involve. It presents a publisher's view of the methodology needed to exploit the potential that online and other electronic technologies offer. Included is a discussion on the role of the paper-based journal in an era of electronic publication, and the ambivalence of scholars and of learned societies toward electronic information. Additionally, the role of universities is examined, as they become partners of publishers in delivering published material to customers on the Internet: by hosting servers, by providing access to bandwidth, and by adding value through participation in the publishing process.
