Science and Communication: An Author/Editor/User's Perspective on the Transition from Paper to Electronic Publishing

Abstract

Librarians have written a great deal about the advent of the electronic age and its impact on scholarly communication, but most discussions have concerned copyright and licensing, budgetary issues, and implementation of technology. In this article, as an author/editor/reader of scientific research, I discuss these issues from the perspective of a front-line user of this information. I do this by examining perceptions -- my own and those I have gleaned from colleagues -- about the anticipated influence of electronic publishing on communication of scientific research.
