Abstract

Electronic publishing is increasing in most academic disciplines, incorporating not just electronic journals but also online working-paper series, sites that offer conference papers, and private home pages offering preprints and offprints. They are a main feature of what may be called "cyberscience" (Nentwich 1999) [1] Other features of this cyberscience landscape include teleworks, virtual laboratories, the changing roles in knowledge generation, artificial intelligence, and computer modeling. This paper looks at the future of electronic publishing, taking as a starting point European-integration research, the study of how Europe is coming together politically, legally, economically, and socially.
