Abstract

Scientific publishing has evolved over three centuries of technological change. It now faces problems that include rapid growth, literature scatter, increasing costs, and excessive delays in publication. This article examines technical solutions to increasing delays and costs and explores new ways of disseminating research information. Noting developments in computer networking and microcomputer applications, the author contends that the widespread use of personal computers will accelerate the development of electronic publishing.
