Keywords: Electronic Publishing, Scholarly Journals, Systems Analysis, Publishing System Functions, Publishing System Participants, Publishing System Attributes

Abstract: As electronic publishing and distribution progress, participants in the publishing system will need to make critical economic and operational decisions concerning a myriad of rapidly evolving new technologies. The University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences was awarded a Special Libraries Association research grant to produce relevant data and information to assist librarians, Iibrary funders, journal publishers, authors and readers, and other participants in dealing with electronic publishing in the future. In order to accomplish this goal, we have developed a framework for describing the system of scholarly journal publishing (particularly as applied in science). The dimensions of this framework include a context for journal publishing; principal functions performed; participants in the system; attributes of information and information products and services; and economic and systemic relationships among functions and services.

CONTEXT FOR SCHOLARLY JOURNAL PTJBLISHING

The framework for scholarly journal publishing is developed with science and engineering as an example because electronic publishing appears to be moving faster and is likely to have a greater impact in the near future in science and engineering than elsewhere.

1.1 Definition of Scientific Information

There have been numerous definitions of scientific information, but we have adapted a definition developed under a National Science Foundation Study (Ref.l). In a broad context, scientific information includes messages about basic and applied research resulting from the efforts of scientists and engineers. The messages can include new theory and information obtained from experimentation, observations, instrumentation, or computation in the form of text, numeric data, or images. Once information is created it may be further transformed, described, evaluated, and/or synthesized. The information may be recorded and distributed in several media including paper, microform, electronic, magnetic, or others in order to enhance communication and increase its usefulness and value to a wide spectrum of users and uses. There are three components of a scientific information message including:

377 2.1 Scholarly Journal process Functions I i A number of researchers ( have iientified and described scholarly journal process functions (see, for example, Refs.1,4,7,9,1I,r2,13). Some of these involve gene.ic scientific communication functions, 2.2 but are appropriate to the scholarly journal system n"evertheiess. Information-related process functions include: The sch an impc o Creation of Information involves scientific processes such as development of new primary theory and hypotheses, performing experimentation, sampling, observations, correlating prestige or linking information from several sources, evaluation and inalysis, and so on. Some ownersl refer to this a generation of information or knowledee. electron Composition consists of documenting or writing atout ' newly created information, the role including authorship of article text, moders, tables, graphics, etc. o Transformation of Information Content including tianslation from one language to J. another, subject or text editing, and so on. . such as describing the validity of Each o1 information through peer review and preparation secondary oi information including be char abstracts, indexes, catalogs for logical access to the information. It would also include publishr incorporating information from articles into reviews, state-of-the-art reviews, and so on. instituti o Logical access.involves identifying needed information and locating sources of the as with information through reference searching, referral, linking and other pro."rr"r. librarier o Evaluation and analysis of information includes urr"rJ*.nt of information on behalf researcl of users including annotated search outputs. because

Some process functions deal largely with information media or the way in which information is 3.1 packaged. Examples of media,related process functions include: There i o Communications (sometimes called information transfer, information exchange or describ, distribution) among journal system participants. o Recording refers physically to inputting information into various media such as page masters, computer storage, cD-RoM disks, and so on. once physically recordeo^ the information can be reproduced, distributed or stored. Reproduction involves processes for making multiple copies from or of physical media.' o Phvsical transfQrmation is converting information from one medium to another such as paper to microform, electronic to paper and so on. o Storagq is holding and making available the various media such as in libraries, computer files and so on. o Preservation includes processes required to ensure that information on media or the media themselves do not deteriorate over time and, if likely to deteriorate, the information or media be reproduced or restored. 3 Physical Access includes processes that present the information medium to users or others such as receipt of a personal subscripiion, journal issues in libraries, ptrotocopies through ILL, terminar displays, computer or workstation printouts and so on. once physical access is achieved the information is assimilated and used. These functions are: o Assimilation of Information involves processes for receiving and absorbing information through reading ' an article text, tooking at charts and graprrs and so on.

378 purposes for which the o Information Use includes the ways information is used or the professiona,l information ,, ,,,"0 including .research, teaching, keeping current or develoPment and so bn' rs (see, rication 2.2 ScholarlY Journal Roles -related science, inciuding serving as (i) The scholarly journal system plays several important roles in particularly beyond an author's un l*po*uni rireans of'con1-uni"uting scientific information, (3) a way of conveying of new community, (2) a permanent a-rchive for scientific information, f.i-uiy ^and , establishing :elating pr"rtGl, and recognition, (4) a process for protecting against information (Refs' 11' 14)' Evolving Some i*n"irtripr, and eisuring uninhibited iccess to scientific these roles unless one or more of electronic publishing and distribution must continue to futfill nation, the roles are disregarded. rage to 3.

Another type computer cel o Secondary publishers such as abstracting and indexing services provide description collection ag and synthesis of journal article information to achieve logical access to the information. contribute su They perform many of the same publication processes as primary publishers, but affect and ar currently reiy heavily on electronic media and access. They tend to cover scientific fields and specialties and many of them are non-profit and were at one time partially SCHt subsidized by the National Science Foundation and/or professional societies. o Second partv distributors are usually profit-making organizations who gain permission There are ge from a variety of publishers to distribute articles electronically through CD-ROIr4, onSne are also spec and magnetic tape. A royalty, typically based on use or units sold, is paid to the a sense, the primary publishers. Some librarians serve this function by downloading available through and then distributing to their users. Document delivery services also fall into this category. 4.r Gent o Third oarty distributors contract with a second party to provide further distribution Three exam of electronic publications for which the second party has obtained permission.

SCHOLARLY JOURNAL SYSTEM ATTRIBI.]"TES rission there There are generic attributes that the overall scholarly journal system should achieve and online In are also specific attributes of the input resources and output of each process in the system. to the a sense, the roles of the system could be stated in terms of generic attributes' abases iivery 4.1 Generic Attributes of the Scholarly Journal System (and bution Three examples of generic attributes follow. The first set given by Goodwin in 1959 ey are recently cited by Penniman) includes (Ref.16): some irectly o to get information desired, o at time it is desired (not before or after), e they e in briefest form, . in order of importance, ;hared r with auxiliary information, 'oduce o and indications of reliabilitY, ies of o and authority of information (source), o to exert minimum effort, he for . to be screened from undesired or untimely information, and rraries o to know negative results are reliable.

A process can be described 9. King, D. by the input resources (i.e., staff, equipment, suppries, etc.) necessary to conduct the process Economics. S and the output quantities of units, trinsactions, eic. produced from the process. There are attributes associated with both the input resources and the outputs. 10. Lucier, R For example, attributes of staff include comp.etence (knowledge and skills). output attributes Knowledge include such things as quality, timeliness I otdelivery, availability, accessibility, and so on. Most processes are designed to improve Champaign, attributes that will make information or media more useful and-valuable' The degree 1992. to which this is done could be considered the value-added contribution made by the process. Taylor refers to such attributes as values and has described such great ',values,, 11. Report in detail (Ref.18). It is abundantly clear that the price one is willing to pay is dependent Technical Inl on the level of attributes purchased (see, for example, Ref.2). 5. CONCLUSION 12.

Pinelli, T to better understand the scholarly.;ournai system and how emerging new technologies Infonnation t are likely to affect the system, we must retognize the dynamic of the nafure system and the interdependencies among functions and participants. 14.
