Abstract
This multi-part bibliographic essay identifies the most relevant issues about the publishing of scholarly electronic journals: Access, Cataloging and Indexing, Pricing, Archiving, and Licensing. Each of these issues merits careful consideration in its own right; however, as these essays demonstrate, the issues are vast, complex, and very interdependent. These sections ask questions such as: Who will take the responsibility for archiving? Will data remain unaltered after publication? Will libraries still have access to archival copies after canceling a subscription? The sections below highlight the current debates on each topic and provide references to sources of further study.Keywords
