“…This reluctance to take the plunge into electronic-only publishing may stem from at least two different worries: Some scholars prefer print or hybrid journals because they perceive that electronic-only journals have lower credibility and lower prestige, and some are concerned that journals without any print component might not be adequately preserved and archived (Danner, Kolev, & Most, 2011, pp. 10-11).…”

This study surveys the landscape of scholarly publishing, with particular emphasis on scholarly journals in the communication discipline, measuring the shift to electronic publishing in six selected disciplines and exploring two other important emerging topics: open-access publishing and new journal citation metrics. The goals are to inform communication researchers about emerging topics in scholarly publishing; to provide updated information about the proportion of electronic-only journals; to compare the impact of electronic-only journals and open-access journals to other journals in the same discipline; and to provide a list of communication journals showing each journal’s Impact Factor, open-access status, and other information relevant to researchers’ decisions about publication venue.

“…Few authors are willing to risk submitting materials to a journal without a track record, because the journal might not be viable (this is especially true with the proliferation of ''Web only'' publications). 67 Although there is a track record (albeit uneven) for its previous incarnations (as Alternative Health Practitioner and Complementary Health Practice Review), JEBCAM itself is new and must establish its own identity. The initial step to overcome this shortcoming has been for JEBCAM to publish on time journal issues consisting mostly of a series of high-quality topical review articles.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of electronic journals (e-journals) by the scientists of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) – a center of excellence in the field of genomics and integrative biology situated in Delhi, India. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on the results of a well-structured questionnaire administered to all the scientists of the institute for the purpose of data collection. Findings – The main findings are that the scientists are more attracted toward e-journals specially on those provided by CSIR-NISCAIR Consortia, NKRC than those available via direct subscription. From this survey, the investigator has been able to find out that almost all the scientists are consulting e-journals from their campus cabin, not only for research purposes but also to update their own knowledge. The infrastructure to use e-journals are superb and there is no technological problem specially hardware and software support with high bandwidth of Internet speed exists here, as CSIR-IGIB uses largest computing facility (four Tflop/s) in Asia outside Japan (ranked 158th among the World’s Top 500 Super Computers). Respondents also identified that there is dire need for training in using e-resources and retrieving pinpointed information from the databases. Research limitations/implications – The present paper consists only of scientists and the geographical area is restricted to CSIR-IGIB, Delhi. The scope of the paper can be extended to additional CSIR libraries. A comparative study can also be made among some biological research libraries of CSIR Institutes. Originality/value – There are a number of studies on the use of e-journals by CSIR scientists, but this is the first of its kind which covers scientists of IGIB that has the largest computing facility (four Tflop/s) in Asia outside Japan. As such, it should pave the way for research and lead a model role for other CSIR Institutes as well as elsewhere.
