About electronic publishing

• Harrassowitz Electronic Journals: A Selected Resource Guide
• A survey of STM online electronic journals 1990-95: the calm before the storm by Hitchcock, Carr and Hall of the University of Southampton
• Scholarly Communications at UCSC
• Scholarly Communications Project of VPI & SU
• Stevan Harnad E-Print Archive on interactive publishing
• Proceedings of the ICSU/UNESCO conference "Electronic publishing in science".

Examples of electronic journals

Illustrations of the state of affairs concerning the on-line publication of preprints and articles

• Institute of Physics Publishing electronic journals
• Publications of the American Physical Society">American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society
• The Astrophysical Journal , a hypertext edition of the paper journal, with the possibility to search the text. The electronic journal is available on the Web.
• The Journal of High Energy Physics, a refereed journal written, run and distributed by electronic means. Papers available in PostScript, DVI and PDF.
• Mathematical Physics E-journal is a purely electronic refereed journal that is available for free. Abstracts are offered in ASCII and the articles in PostScript, such that they have to be printed (or viewed with GhostView).
• Journal of Fluids Engineering is an experiment in electronic publishing. One article has been scanned and stored as pictures. The raw research data are available in a database. Multimedia applications have been added and the possibility of interactive discussion through a bulletin board. The experiment is not much alive though.
• Psycoloquy Journal, a freely accessible purely electronic journal on psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, behavioural biology, artifical intelligence, robotics, linguistics and philosophy. It is refereed and contains articles and peer commentary.
• Ginsparg's Los Alamos preprint databases , on many subjects such as high energy, atomic, molecular, chemical and astrophysics.
• Computing Research Repository - through a partnership of ACM, the Los Alamos e-Print archive, and NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library)
• Association of Research Libraries directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists.
• Directory of scholarly and professional e-conferences

Examples of other electronic publications

Some examples of possible applications of electronic tools and techniques to the transfer of information on physics and related subjects:

• The Internet Pilot To Physics
• The Net Advance of Physics Homepage - A free electronic journal/encyclopaedia meant as a reference tool. Most of the articles themselves are in the Los Alamos preprint database.
• EurophysNet - a physics information and service network organized by the European Physical Society
• Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Initiative at the Virginia Tech, for example the PhD thesis 'Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions and Steady States in Biased Diffusion of Two Species' by Gyorgy Korniss (in PDF format).
• The Nine Planets - A hypertext & multimedia essay about our solar system.
• Mandelbrot and Julia Set Explorer - Interactive non-linear dynamics exploration of the relation between the Mandelbrot and the Julia set, generating full colour graphics.
• Atomic Physics Links - A navigational node

Electronic collaboration and teaching

• CREW, Collaboratory for Research on Electronic Work, and the Upper Atmospheric Research Collaboratory UARC they helped to develop
• VSMS, Virtual School of Molecular Sciences
• VHG, the Virtual Hyperglossary: a collaborative virtual project to provide a distributed set of glossaries on the WWW.
• Polymers & liquid crystals - A multimedia tutorial.
• Wave-particle duality - A tentative tutorial aid for beginners in quantum physics.

Language and logic resources

• ILLC Homepage , the Institute for Language, Logic and Computation in Amsterdam, from where the national graduate school OzsL and the European association FoLLI can also be reached.
• Colibri newsletter on language, speech, logic and information.

Information retrieval
