  • Title: Is the medical world ready for electronic journals?
    Author: Huth EJ.
    Journal: Online J Curr Clin Trials; 1992 Jul 01; Doc No 7():[1559 words; 11 paragraphs]. PubMed ID: 1343615.
    Abstract:
    New technologies offer new ways to deliver scholarly information, perhaps advantageously compared with paper journals, which have been an accustomed mode of scholarly communication for 300 years. Paper journals offer conveniences in handling and reading, and the economic constraints on their length tend to ensure that this constraint is important. Electronic journals are not yet as easy to use. But paper journals are economically cost effective and these space constraints prevent their publishing information not important to most readers but important to some. Electronic journals offer new advantages for readers, including the capacity to carry more and longer papers, linkages between related documents, and hypertext functions. The editors of The Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials welcome comments on its features and content; these should be sent to Dr. María L. Lebrón, Managing Editor, CCT, AAAS, 1333 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005 USA, FAX 202-842-2868.
