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)
