@inproceedings { , title = {Electronic Publishing : the evolution and economics of a hybrid journal.}, abstract = {The technical, social and economic issues of electronic publishing are examined by using as a case study the evolution of the journal Electronic Publishing Origination, Dissemination and Design (EP-odd) which is published by John Wiley Ltd. The journal is a `hybrid' one, in the sense that it appears in both electronic and paper form, and is now in its ninth year of publication. The author of this paper is the journal's Editor-in- Chief. The first eight volumes of EP-odd have been distributed via the conventional subscription method but a new method, from volume 9 onwards, is now under discussion whereby accepted papers will first be published on the EP-odd web site, with the printed version appearing later as a once-per-volume operation. Later sections of the paper lead on from the particular experiences with EP-odd into a more general discussion of peer review and the acceptability of e-journals in universities, the changing role of libraries, the sustainability of traditional subscription pricing and the prospects for `per paper' sales as micro-payment technologies become available.}, conference = {Electronic Publishing '97; New Models and Opportunities}, organization = {University of Kent}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1024316}, keyword = {Hybrid journals, Open journals, e-journals, peer review, journal archives, PDF}, year = {1997}, author = {Brailsford, David F.} }
