Re: Scientific Literature



Paleontology already has an on-line and free journal, which has had 
difficulty getting enough submissions to publish on a regular basis.  The 
last issue was published in November of 2000, and Norm MacLeod sent out an 
email to Vrtpaleo a while ago inquiring as to why so few manuscripts have 
been submitted.

>From the introduction to Palaeontologia Electronica (on the Vertpaleo.org 
website):

       Welcome to Palaeontologia Electronica, an electronic journal of 
       paleontology from Coquina Press. The principal objective of the 
       journal is to provide instant, free and global access to the latest 
       developments in paleontology and related fields.

Another question on exclusive on-line publication is what will folks do who 
don't have Internet access?   Not even a (heaven forbid!) trip to the library 
would help.
