Additional files relevant to electronic journal publishing are available at the FTP, Gopher, Listserv and WWW sites. FTP Archive: The Scholarly Communications Project of Virginia Tech has an anonymous FTP archive which includes the VPIEJ-L archive, along with many electronic texts and electronic publishing utilities. To access this site, FTP to BORG.LIB.VT.EDU and login as userid anonymous. This FTP archive is available to the Gopher literate through the Gopher at gopher.micro.umn.edu. Select item 5, Internet file server (FTP) sites/, then item 2, Popular FTP Sites via Gopher/. Gopher Access: The FTP archive files are available via a Gopher+ server at borg.lib.vt.edu port 5070. VPIEJ-L files are in /pub/vpiej-l. Menu items are likely to gain new names, but this server is now permanent. Listserv Archive: There is a listserv archive available at listserv@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu (listserv@vtvm1 for BITNET) for VPIEJ-L. Send a command as the body of a mail message to get a current filelist: INDEX VPIEJ-L to listserv. Use the get command to retrieve items from the archive in a mail message: GET EJ-BIB TXT. Usenet Gateway: Subscribers may want to consider reading VPIEJ-L on Usenet. Check with your system administrator to see if your site receives bit.listserv.vpiej-l. If it does, you can unsubscribe your email account by sending a SIGNOFF VPIEJ-L command to listserv@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu. You will still be able to post to the list by email to vpiej-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu. If your site does not carry this group, please encourage them to add it. WAIS Source: The discussion logs for the VPIEJ-L list are searchable via WAIS. The wais source may be retrieved from the directory-of-servers by searching for VPIEJ-L, or by FTP to borg.lib.vt.edu in the pub/WAIS/sources directory. World Wide Web Access: Point your WWW or Xmosaic client at the Scholarly Communications Project page: http://borg.lib.vt.edu/z-borg/www/. There is a link to a hypertext version of the VPIEJ-L discussion archives, which are still under construction. There is also a link to the Usenet newsgroup bit.listserv.vpiej-l. ----------------------- VPIEJ-L@VTVM1 VPIEJ-L@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU bit.listserv.vpiej-l VPIEJ-L is a discussion list for electronic publishing issues, especially those related to Scholarly Electronic Journals. Topics for discussion include SGML, PostScript, and other e-journal formats; as well as software and hardware considerations for creation of, storage, and access to e-journals. Publishers, editors, technical staff, programmers, librarians, and end-users are welcome to join. One goal of the list is to provide better feedback from users to creators, so we are very interested in receiving and archival issues. This should give those of us involved in publishing an idea as to what distribution methods work and how end-users are accessing and using these publications. Current readers of and contributors to VPIEJ-L have discussed readability and screen display, copyright, and advertising (noncommercial). Archives of VPIEJ-L are available. A listing may be retrieved by sending a command INDEX VPIEJ-L to LISTSERV@VTVM1. To subscribe, send the following command to LISTSERV@VTVM1 via mail or interactive message: SUB VPIEJ-L your_full_name where "your_full_name" is your name.

One of the problems in producing an e-journal is how to convince potential readers to change their workflow and learn how to use an e-journal, when there are only a few e-journals they might be interested in. The critical mass appears to occur within subject areas. At this workshop, it was felt that a critical mass of agricultural journals were represented. If all or most of these journals were to go electronic as part of a group effort, then readers would indeed pay attension to the electronic format. I am wondering if there are any efforts either underway or planned which would result in a critical mass of e-journals within some discipline. I am aware of a project at Cornell's Mann Library that has created e-journals for chemical researchers. This Ag society group, that had a meeting last week, is another. Are there others? --- Dirk Herr-Hoyman | Practice Internet Publishing Specialist | random acts of Electronic Journal of Extension | kindness Project Coordinator | and University of Wisconsin-Extension | senseless beauty hoymand@joe.uwex.edu (NeXTmail accepted) | 608-265-3893 (voice) 608-265-2530 (fax) | ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1993 16:51:32 EDT Reply-To: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> Sender: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> From: "Natalie S.

The Scholarly Communications Project has all the issues of two titles online (Journal of Technology Education, Journal of the International Academy of Hospitality Research), but there are too few issues to have that sort of impact. Twenty-two years of a major quarterly might be a different story... Can "critical mass" be achieved before a significant number of electronic journals start charging a fee? That seems unlikely to me.

In my opinion the critical mass problem is not a readership problem, nor one of e-journal numbers. The critical mass that needs to be attracted to e-journals is a mass of high-quality AUTHORS (against a background of initial worries about receiving due credit, being faithfully archived in perpetuum, etc.). Once you have articles that are worth reading, you will have made the readership an offer it cannot refuse. It is a foregone conclusion that this critical mass will be attained; some of us are dedicated to ensuring that this happens sooner rather than later. For that, actively encouraging suitable authors will be necessary for a while, rather than passive reliance on spontaneous submissions.

We hope users (Cornell Chemists) will find this collection sufficiently massive to be genuinely useful in the conduct of scholarship. It is important to note, however, that there is more to it than just quantity. The full text of these journals has been available online for years via the STN service. It has not been as widely used as one might expect, suggesting that more than just lots-o-text is important. Obvious impediments other than availability of large amounts of text include: -Format of the data: Does it include graphics? Is it esthetically acceptable? -Functionality of the interface: Will it support the methods of work of the user population? Does it make searching/browsing/citation/fact-extraction easier or harder? Are there opportunities to provide functionality that are not feasible in the medium of paper -Pricing model: Is there a sensible pricing model that will be acceptable to users and provide a predictable revenue stream sufficient to support the publication process? Critical mass is necessary, but not sufficient.

This effort is just in the early stages. I would call it a proposed project. The background is this, the Mann Library at Cornell would like to produce a CD-ROM set of the important Ag literature for the 3rd World. As payback for use of their journals, the Ag societies would receive electronic format of the last 5 years of their journals. The project would take all of these and create an e-journal archive, available on the Internet. If this were to happen, it would jumpstart all of these publishers into e-journals and have instant critical mass. I do agree with Stuart Weibel that "critcal mass is necessary, but not sufficient" and I would hope that what might come out of such an effort would be not only a critical mass of information, but also a standard (or at least uniform) interface for the user and a standard production method. These would both be critical mass in other dimensions. Another point Stuart raises is "Are there opportunities to provide functionality that are not feasible in the medium of paper?". One of these is hypertext, which demands a critical mass of information in order to be interesting. --- Dirk Herr-Hoyman | If Prodigy is like a Internet Publishing Specialist | chaperoned dance, Electronic Journal of Extension | then the Internet is like Project Coordinator | a cyberpunk University of Wisconsin-Extension | slam dance. hoymand@joe.uwex.edu (NeXTmail accepted) | 608-265-3893 (voice) 608-265-2530 (fax) | ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1993 08:30:47 EDT Reply-To: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> Sender: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> From: Ken Laws <laws@ai.sri.com> Subject: Re: Critical mass in e-journals In-Reply-To: <9306012121.AA18770@Sunset.AI.SRI.COM> > I wonder if critical mass might not also be obtained by placing all the back > issues of a particular title into an electronic form, especially if this > collection of issues is searchable? Hi! I'm tempted to rename this thread "Blasphemy," given the number of librarians reading this newsgroup. Librarians deal constantly with users who want access to back issues. As a publisher of an electronic newsletter, though, I find that there is almost no interest in back issues. Well, a bit of interest if the access is convenient and free -- but not if it costs anything. People who pay me to find useful news and information for them are busy people. They have trouble keeping up with today's happenings, and have no interest in exploring last year's news. If last year's news is currently important, they want _me_ to bring it to their attention again. And, since I run a service business, they count on me to retain leads to people and products that have been mentioned. Hardcopy journals can't work this way, but e-journals can. -- Ken Laws ------- ========================================================================= Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1993 14:00:46 EDT Reply-To: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> Sender: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> From: LUIS ZEREDO <l.zeredo@sheffield.ac.uk> Subject: Re: Critical mass in e-journals + update info "People who pay me to find useful news and information for them are busy people. They have trouble keeping up with today's happenings, and have no interest in exploring last year's news." -- Ken Laws UP-TO-DATE I strongly believe that the best thing an electronic journal can bring to the academic life is the up-to-date publication of research works. EFFICIENT For example, if we spend two months writing and reviewing an article and the journal takes some three to six months within the peer review process, the work would be published in eight months time, whilst in an electronic journal this time could be reduced to a couple of weeks from the time the article reaches the editors. Moreover, the file becomes immediately available for readers, at least for the academic community. TIMELY Another fact is that the University Libraries can keep archives of electronic journals, due to fertile contact with editors. The time from conception of any idea to its communication can be effectively reduced with the help of electronic journals. Electronic marketing is also faster than the printed marketing of journals.

This might be the right model for a news or business e-journal but CERTAINLY NOT for a scholarly or scientific one, where "old news" is definitely "good news." To be taken seriously and to be useful to scholars and scientists, electronic journals will HAVE to be reliably and perspicaciously archived, and they will have to be directly searchable and accessible by/to the scholar. What that calls for is Veronica-like tools, not mediating specialists. What Ken Laws does is very valuable and important, but it is NOT what scholars and scholarly electronic journals want or need. (It is also the wrong economic model, but that's another complex issue.)

Following feedback from our readers, the SIRI (Service integre de ressources d'information/Integrated Service for Information Resources) team at the Canadian Workplace Automation Research Centre (CWARC) is in the process of revising its products, services and policies. For anyone in an interdisciplinary field wanting to remain fully up-to-date, scanning multiple journals on a regular basis is critical. It is, however, a time-consuming activity. Moreover, one may not necessarily have access to all the relevant periodicals dealing with the subject being researched. The objective of the SIRI team, therefore, is to offer through FLASH INFORMATION and a new additional product (which is yet to be named), a selective dissemination of information specifically geared towards the information needs of researchers and management within the fields of information management and information technologies. These electronic publications will keep our readers up-to-date by providing details of relevant newly published information scanned from some 300 journals and news bulletins from our collection on a weekly basis. OUR NEW FORMAT.... The SIRI team is working toward improving the contents, format and access of FLASH INFORMATION. Future issues of FLASH INFORMATION, our bibliographic issue of articles on information technologies and industry news, for example, will be more comprehensive and entries will be grouped under general subject headings. Topics identified reflect the Centre's main research interests which include language technology, content engineering, multimedia, human-computer interaction issues, and learning technologies. An indexed listing of the journals scanned will be provided upon request. OUR NEW PRODUCT.... Whereas FLASH INFORMATION is a list of titles of articles, our new product will consist of abstracts of articles. This publication will provide researchers and management with news on strategic alliances within the industry and the Canadian government, industry news and issues, market and R & D trends, and recent developments in information/computer/communications related fields. These abstracts will be distributed jointly with FLASH INFORMATION. The list of subject headings, an example of FLASH INFORMATION in its new format and sample entries of our new product are included. TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN PUT TO WORK.... Up to now FLASH INFORMATION has been made available free of charge. We will continue sending you FLASH INFORMATION together with our new publication free until September. In order to provide you with the new products and services, however, a minimal subscription fee may be charged beginning September in order to recover some of the production costs. We would like to accommodate the needs of as many readers as possible; we would appreciate it, therefore, if you could supply us with the name and the electronic address of anyone who may be interested in our services.

The two companies have recently introduced the cross-border virtual corporate network (VCN), known as the Advantage VNet, providing networking services to large Canadian businesses. Virtual networks allow sharing of long distance voice and data lines with other customers bringing rates down by as much as 30 to 50 percent. Further, high volume users can also benefit from discounts of up to 22 percent off their total bill. The linking of Stentor's Impac service with MCI's HyperStream will create the first international frame relay service available in the world. HyperStream, as the service has been named, will provide a cross-border, high-speed frame relay data network linking local area networks between cities. Stentor's main competitor, AT&T which forged an alliance with Unitel in January, has introduced a software package similar to Advantage VNet, the SDN (Software Defined Network). ------------------------------ EXAMPLE NO. 2 Tire-kicking Technology: AMS' Chief Technology Officer Describes his Firm's New Lab Source: Computerworld, May 3, 1993, pp. 28-29 ABSTRACT: American Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) is opening a Center for Advanced Technologies as an applied research laboratory in Fairfax, VA. this month. The systems integrator and software house which aims at becoming a technology leader will focus on the following research areas: 1. Applications architecture; 2. Client/server technology; 3. Collaborative work environments; 4. Computer/Human interaction; 5. Mobile computing; 6. Multimedia; 7. Object technology; 8. Performance and measurement. Topics emphasized will be object technology (development languages, tools and DBMS), multimedia (applications with interactive video and audio), and mobile computing (pen-based computing, wireless data communications and the integration of mobile technologies with client/server systems). Activities will include software performance testing particularly in complex client/server applications involving multiple systems and multiple servers. The research focus, however, is expected to change to match business needs. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1993 13:25:13 EDT Reply-To: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> Sender: "Publishing E-Journals : Publishing, Archiving, and Access" <vpiej-l@vtvm1.bitnet> From: Thomas Haverly <thaverly@mailbox.syr.edu> Subject: Re: concordance/indexing programs In-Reply-To: Your message of "Fri, 04 Jun 93 12:10:52 EDT." <9306041617.AA18484@mailbox.syr.edu> Could Pat summarize responses for the list, please?

Chesnutt" <chesnutt@hsscls.hssc.scarolina.edu> Subject: Re: concordance/indexing programs My recollection is that the American Society of Indexers has published a software guide for micrcomputer indexing packages. I suspect that a number of the members are on INDEX-L and could tell you how to get the publication. (You can subscribe to the list at LISTSERVE@BINGVMB.BITNET). In editing and publishing the multi-volume edition of the _Papers of Henry Laurens_, we use a package called NLCindex which is available through the Newberry Library in Chicago. Originally developed at the Laurens Papers as a mainframe package called CINDEX (not to be confused with a later commercial package by the same name), NLC is designed specifically for scholarly indexing--not as a generic package. NLC is simple to use and conforms to the style rules of the _Chicago Manual of Style_ in its output routines. You can produce either a paper index or an electronic version fully coded for typesetting or desktop publishing. It's currently in use at dozens of historical editions and journals. A departmental site license is $200 for an unlimited number of users. We bought the site license so that I could use NLC in teaching a course on historical editing. A number of my colleagues have used it as well. The contact person at the Newberry Library is Charles Cullen, President and Librarian. His e-mail address is U08462@UICVM. At any rate, there are lots of options for computer assisted indexing. As for concordances, the Oxford Concordance Package (OCP) is probably the best known among those of us in the humanities. There is both a mainframe and a micro version (runs on MS-DOS platforms I believe.) A contact person for OCP would be Lou Burnard at the Oxford Computing Centre.

There has been much interest in the results of my E-Journal Survey and several libraries who are at the beginning stages of establishing access to electronic journals would like to see the final results. Unfortunately, the number of responses to the questionnaire has been low. Part of this low rate of return may be due to the summer schedules of some libraries. Therefore, I would like to ask for your help once again. If your institution handles E-journals, I would appreciate receiving the completed questionnaire before the end of June 1993. Thank you so very much for taking time to complete the questionnaire.

Commercial companies are already devoting attention to developing computer network publication projects. It is imperative that the scholarly community not leave this major medium to be developed solely by commercial interests. The aims of the conference are: *to make academic merit the sole consideration in the publication of journal-type research; *to advance the idea that the academic community should have a hand in determining what gets published and how it is disseminated; *to provide an outlet of research publication that is not subject to the severe economic constraints of traditional paper-journal publishing; *to make collective use of the scholarly advantages of network publication(savings in production costs, speed-up in publication and dissemination process); *to provide an effective and low-cost means for universities to play a greater role as disseminators of research information, and not only as producers and consumers. This historic two-day event is organized as a series of plenary working sessions that will include presentations from major resource people from a variety of fields. It will include an exhibit and demonstration of the latest in computer technology for long distance data transfer as it applies to electronic journals, with an emphasis on text, image and sound signal processing and compression. Registration is limited to 200 participants. Registration Information Fees: If paid by September 1, 1993: $150.00 (Cdn) If paid after September 1, 1993: $200.00 (Cdn) Dinner for Guests of participants: $30.00 (Cdn) An "ice-breaker" session will be held after our Pre-Registration on September 30.

Thanks in advance for your assistance in this regard. -- Richard IMPLICATIONS OF ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING TO BE ADDRESSED IN NEW ORLEANS Views from a commercial scientific-technical-medical (STM) journal publisher and a noted library educator will be presented at the Electronic Publishing Discussion Group's meeting at the American Library Association Annual Conference in New Orleans. EPDG, which is part of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), is scheduled to meet 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Sunday, June 27, in the Room 13 of the New Orleans Convention Center. Bob Badger, manager of electronic media for Springer-Verlag Inc. of New York, and Dr. S. Michael Malinconico, a professor in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama, will present their ideas on "Electronic Publishing: The Implications for Libraries and Librarians." Their talks follow up the discussion of electronic publishing and proprietary obstacles set forth by Ann Okerson at EPDG's Midwinter Conference meeting in Denver. Badger's work on the Red Sage Project, a collaborative effort involving Springer, Bell Labs, and the University of California, San Francisco, was featured in a March issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education. Malinconico, meanwhile, has written on the impact technology is having on the preparation of current and future librarians in such publications as the Journal of Education for Library and Information Science (JELIS). The Badger-Malinconico talks are conceived as the first in a series of viewpoints to be presented over the next two or three ALA conferences. Tentative plans are being made for additional talks from a variety of stakeholders, including representatives from the university press, faculty, vendor and library communities. The New Orleans EPDG meeting will also see the election of a vice-chair/chair-elect of the group. To submit nominations or for more information about the meeting, please contact: Richard P.
