Ejournals & Scholars: What Will Be the Impacts? (3697 words)
Stevan Harnad has been advocating for the use of electronic means for scholarly communication since the early 1990s.
Harnad thinks this is potentially the most important aspect of communication: the communication during the prepublication phase, which has traditionally been done over the telephone or at conferences as part of the invisible college (Harnad 1990).
Harnad also discusses the impact factor and asserts that the average impact factor of a printed article is 1 (lowest score) since very few articles are even read (Harnad 1997b).
