English abstract

Tenopir and King (2000a,b) aim to root discussions of future developments in electronic journal publishing in fact rather than speculation. A systems framework for assessing scholarly journal publishing is set forth. Detailed accounts are presented of all aspects of the scientific communication system. The analyses represent a landmark in the study of scientific publishing; the book is likely to become an indispensable reference. Its scope is, however, more limited than the title suggests, and the authors' work is vitiated somewhat by the age of some of the studies presented, and by their implicit treatment of scientific information as an undifferentiated whole.
