Number 153 (Story #3), November 29, 1993 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein ELECTRONIC JOURNALS , delivering information in the form of binary bits to your computer instead of pounds of paper to your shelf, are slowly conquering problems in a variety of areas: transmitting graphics, refereeing, non-uniformity of languages, copyright conventions, shortfall of submitted articles, etc. One example: Britain's Institute of Physics is collaborating with other publishers in creating SuperJournal, a demonstration project consisting of a smorgasbord of existing print journals which can be accessed to varying degrees over the new SuperJANET high- speed computer network. At a speed of 100 megabits of data per second, the network can transmit a page of text in about 0.25 msec. (Physics World, Nov. 1993.) The circulation of preprints, particularly in particle physics, has been widespread for several years, but fully electronic physics journals, with electronic submissions and an exclusively electronic format including figures, are in their infancy and are learning to crawl before they run. For instance, the Journal of Chemical Physics puts up some of its articles (with figures) prior to publication in print form. The bi-monthly publication Computers in Physics hopes to shift from print to electronic form piecemeal, starting in early 1994, with a regularly updated summary of physics- related information available worldwide over Internet.
