  1. Online Publishing Brings the World Together Linda Rowan Senior Editor, Science Lrowan@aaas.org Science is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science

  2. High Quality = Peer-reviewed Rapid Publication Efficient Dissemination Searchability Readability Enhancements Needs of Online Publishing

  3. Number of Peer-Reviewed Online Journals In 1991: 7 journals; In 2002: >6000 journals HighWire Library of Sciences and Medicine Over 12 million articles The Astrophysics Data System Almost 3 million records So Many Papers, So Little Time

  4. Time to acceptance: Online submission Online review Time after acceptance: Within 24 hours: J. Biological Chemistry (JBC) Within 10 days: Science Express Within 14 days: Some journals Within 30 days: Many journals Rapid Publication

  5. The Young and Paperless Science296, 841 (2002).

  6. Paths to Dissemination Institution Membership Database Author

  7. Individual Membership • Direct Access • Can Customize • Email Alerts • Enhanced Content • Society Benefits

  8. Paths to Dissemination Institution Membership Database Author

  9. Institutional Subscription • Direct Access from Institution • Economical • Smaller Institutes Can Aggregate: Max Planck • Countrywide: China

  10. Paths to Dissemination Institution Membership Database Author

  11. Big, Bad Databases highwire.stanford.edu

  12. Databases: Developing Countries www.healthinternetwork.org

  13. What About Small Databases? • Earth Science Societies Initiative • Earth science societies create a not-for-profit aggregate • Contain all peer-reviewed Earth science society journals • Seamless search capabilities • Link to Georef and other bibliographic resources • Link to other databases • Maintain a full content and searchable archive • Share revenues with societies • Use third party vendors for technology • Permit societies to participate in other initiatives

  14. Paths to Dissemination Institution Membership Author Database

  15. Preprints • Physics and Astrophysics: arXiv.org • In 1992: 59 astro-ph; In 2001: 6807 astro-ph • Chemistry: preprint.chemweb.com • Psychology and Biology: cogprints.soton.ac.uk • Search Engine: www.osti.gov/preprints/index.html • Preprints from journals: The Astrophysical Journal

  16. The Astrophysical Journal Future www.journals.uchicago.edu/ApJ/future.html

  17. Searchability Search Engines • Fast • Easy to use • Handle synonyms/terminology/language • Full text • Multiple sources • Flexibility

  18. ADS Search Engine adsabs.harvard.edu

  19. Synonym Searches Here is how the Astrophysics Data System handles synonyms • Search for similar terminology • Equate different tenses accelerated = accelerate • Equate different names O’Higgins = OHiggins • Equate different words height = altitude • Equate different patterns X-ray = X ray • Equate foreign words with English translations • Do not search on common words, such as “the”

  20. Topic Search Where On Earth Is It?

  21. Readability • Standards for Papers/Scientific Data • Submission format pdf • Revised text format Word, Latex • Revised figure format tiff, jpeg, ps • Realtime Online format html • Archival Online format xml, sgml • Downloadable paper format pdf • Standards for Language and Symbols • See www.stixfonts.org • Standards for the Web

  22. Standards for the Web • Design Strategy • Interoperability • Evolution • Decentralization • Goals • Universal Access • Semantic Web • Web of Trust www.w3c.org

  23. Internet2 in the Americas www.ampath.fiu.edu

  24. More Than Just a Journal • Dynamic Data • Supplementary Data • Commentary • Educational • Archives • Interactive • Inter-network

  31. Archives • JSTOR: Online Journal Storage Archive • Journals 242 • Articles 734,884 • Pages 9,907,549 • Downloads 6,195,892 • Searches 8,894,474 www.jstor.org

  32. JSTOR: Letter from Einstein A. Einstein, Science84, 506 (1936).

  33. Einstein IS Still Relevant In Einstein’s personal letter to the editor of Science, regarding the publication of his 1936 lensing paper he wrote “Let me also thank you for your cooperation with this little publication, which Mister Mandl squeezed out of me. It is of little value, but it makes the poor guy happy.” Renn et al., Science275, 184 (1997).

  34. Status of Online Publishing • High Quality, Peer-reviewed • Rapid Publication • Enhanced Online Products • Dynamic • Data • Archives • Improved Searchability/Readability • Standards • Central/Specific • Efficient Dissemination • Individual membership • Institutional subscription • Databases • Author Accelerated Growth Will Continue!

  35. The Future of Online Publishing • All Electronic, No More Paper • Interactive Review, Edit and Revise • Robotic and AI Searches • National Subscriptions • International and Interlinked Databases • Digital Object identifier (DOIs) • Digital Human Identifier (DHIs) The Sky’s Not the Limit!

  44. Plata Basin Project The Ecosystem Dynamics and Essential Human Needs (EDEHN) project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) International Directorate seeks to improve the scientific basis for environmentally sustainable policymaking by building the capacity of scientists, policymakers, citizens, and other such stakeholders at the local, national, and regional levels. EDEHN will accomplish its goal through participatory, pro-active facilitation of multidisciplinary sustainable science and policy activities undertaken at the watershed level. Three other EDEHN projects are under way in Russia, South-East Asia and Africa.
