“…This showed that unformatted preliminary versions of scientific articles could be organized online and widely and freely accessed by anyone with internet access. The first online scholarly journal, Postmodern Culture, appeared even before this in 1990 (Amiran, Orr, & Unsworth, 1990). By the close of the 20th century, the reach and speed of the internet made accessing content online more attractive to many readers than accessing printed content on library Improvements in computers and the internet have also reduced the per-article costs of other aspects of publication, such as peer review and article composition.…”

• Scientific publication has been a key part of the scientific method since the inception of Philosophical Transactions in 1665. • The scientific publications industry has grown exponentially along with science, incorporating technological innovations along the way, and adapting journal processes and practices to changing needs of science as it matured. • Of all the technological innovations over more than 300 years, the move to online journals may be the most significant, making open access to content practical for the first time. • The open-access movement is disrupting the economics of journal publishing, which is hoped will make the industry more competitive: the ability of the publications industry to adapt to open access will be a measure of its resilience. • The demand for articles published in reputable journals continues to grow as readers trust the credibility of peer reviewed journal articles, and good authors value the prestige of publishing in the best journals. • It is difficult to predict what new functionalities may be included in articles of the future or what additional services publishers and editors will provide, but there is every reason to believe that scientific journal articles are here to stay.
