The Internet is widely viewed as a potential facilitator of scholarly communication -- including communication via research articles. There is considerable debate about which publishing models should organize these communications. Some often-proposed candidates include: field-wide e-print repositories (Harnad, 1999), free online access to all peer-reviewed literature, [1] peer-reviewed pure-electronic journals (Walker, 1998), hybrid paper-electronic journals (usually an electronic version of the paper journal), and authors posting their articles on their own Web sites (Okerson & O'Donnell, 1995). Several of these models, such as authors self-posting and e-print repositories (for example arXiv.org), have no direct paper precursors. There are now important examples of each of these practices. However, only one of these five major architectures has become dominant across variety of scholarly fields -- the hybrid paper-electronic journal, which is a conservative extension of the traditional paper journal (Kling & McKim, 2000; Kling & Callahan, in press)....
