Ejournals in Education: Just Generating Excitement or Living up to the Promise?
Ganesh, Tirupalavanam G.
Education Libraries, v26 n1 p5-15 Sum 2003
The Internet makes scholarly electronic journals an opportune global mode of communication for scholarly exchange, where national and international borders are erased. The American Educational Research Association Special Interest Group, Communications among Researchers (AERA SIG CR) lists over one hundred electronic journals in the field of education that are scholarly, peer-reviewed, full text and accessible without cost on the world wide web (see http://aera-cr.ed.asu.edullinks.html). Are these ejournals merely poor electronic imitations of print journals? Granted, the use of the Internet to publish peer-reviewed scholarship has the potential of democratizing access. But are such scholarly exchanges making effective use of the electronic medium? What innovative things can be done with new technology? How can electronic journals be preserved, used, and managed over time? (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
