Call for contributions
to a special issue
on DIGITAL JOURNALS
Be they societies, participants in a field of study, or research
departments, scientific organizations thrive on the creation and
dissemination of knowledge. Traditionally, peer review journals
have been a major means for filtering, stimulating, qualifying,
and distributing scientific knowledge. Given the growth in
science, journals, and computing technology, the issue of using
that technology to supplement conventional journals is an
important one for enhancing productivity in scientific
organizations. A major focus in exploring this issue is the
conception, design, implementation, utilization, and evaluation of
digital journals: computer based means for filtering, stimulating,
qualifying, and distributing scientific knowledge.
To further the state of knowledge about digital journals, the
JOURNAL OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMPUTING is soliciting contributions to
a special issue. These contributions might address such topics as
digital journal technology (specially group technology), economic,
impacts, administration, multi-media presentation, quality
control, customization, and their relationship to collaborators.
Outlines of original manuscripts should be submitted to the editor
(Prof. Andrew B. Whinston abw@emx.utexas.edu) by January 15,1991.
