Electronic publishing has been gaining ground in recent years and
is now a recognized part of the digital world. In the most
comprehensive assessment of electronic publishing to date,
thirty-one scholars, librarians, and publishers focus specifically
on scholarly publishing. They analyze a number of case studies and
offer original insights on a range of topics, including the
financial costs involved, market forces, appropriate technological
standards, licensing issues, intellectual property, copyright and
associated user rights, and the changing roles of researchers,
publishers, and librarians.
The editors begin with an overview of scholarly communication and
develop a novel interpretation of the important role that
technology now plays. Many of the following chapters are based on
actual electronic publishing projects in the sciences, social
sciences, and humanities, so the evidence and data are drawn from
real-life experiences. Of special value are the attempts to measure
costs and patterns of usage of electronic publishing and digital
libraries.
Electronic publishing has moved well past the experimental stage,
and with numerous projects under way this seems an appropriate time
to assess its impact on the academic world, from teaching to
research to administration.
