Zusammenfassung: Die Vorherrschaft von Großrechnersystemen während der letzten Jahrzehnte förderte die Herausbildung großer Literaturdatenbanken mit internationaler Reichweite im Bereich der biomedizinischen Wissenschaften. Zur gleichen Zeit führte die Entwicklung der Informationssysteme im Bereich der Sozialwissenschaften wegen ihrer Bindung an institutionelle und nationale Zusammenhänge zu eher polyzentristischen Strukturen. Der allgemeine Trend zu Netzwerktechnologien in jüngster Zeit öffnet nun auch kleinere Literaturinformationssysteme einem größeren Publikum. Neue Möglichkeiten, Informationen aus unterschiedlichen Systemen zu recherchieren und zu kombinieren, eröffnen insbesondere interdisziplinärer und anwendungsorientierter gerontologischer Forschung neue Perspektiven. Trotz seiner finanziellen Vorteile und den Möglichkeiten eines schnelleren Informationsflusses setzt sich Electronic Publishing in der Gerontologie und Psychologie nur langsam durch. Eine Aufgabe der wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaften, der Datenbankproduzenten und Dokumentationseinrichtungen wird es sein, hier neue Publikationsstandards, wie des peer reviewed Electronic Journals, zu fördern. Vorläufig bieten internetbasierte Document Delivery Dienste eine Möglichkeit kleinere gerontologische und psychologische Fachbibliotheken finanziell zu entlasten.

Scientific communication has undergone deep transformations, since the emergence of Internet. Aiming to provide further thought on the evolution of scientific communication, this paper features a historical overview of the scientific communication advances over the last twenty years through a three-phase model for the evolution of the electronic journal and the preprints services, and presents Brazilian contemporary panorama for scientific communication. The three-phase model presented in this work is an adaptation of that one proposed by Tenopir et al. (2003) to describe the patterns of journal use by scientists since 1990. The early evolutionary phase followed the emergence of the first digital journals and the creation of repositories in the Web for publishing preliminary versions of scientific literature on the author’s initiative; by that time, most academics reproved electronic publishing initiatives. From 1996 and forward, in the consolidation phase, electronic journals were commonly identical to their print counterparts; the acceptance of the electronic format began to increase, and preprint services got underway in several disciplines. The advanced evolutionary phase started with the world discussion on open access to scientific information. The comparison of the current electronic journal with that viewed by enthusiasts in the first years of the 1990s shows that some aspects still remain to be improved in electronic formal and informal communication, towards effective dissemination of scientific information.

The Social

Although in some parts of the academic community the popularity of electronic journals allows research to be conducted almost exclusively online, the social sciences, of which education is a part, have generally been slower to accept the electronic publishing (e-publishing) of journals and research data. Using a nationally distributed questionnaire, the readership of the Canadian Journal of University Continuing Education was asked to provide input on this topic. The discussion paper that follows presents the results of that questionnaire, framing them within the issues that underlie academic journals' decisions to move to e-publishing formats. As a Forum contribution, this paper is intended to generate response or discussion.

The Way

Abstract Links are important. The providers of electronic astronomical data are linked together the way no other science is. Electronic journals are part of this distributed, linked resource. Permanence is important. The AAS journals use a new publishing process which ensures the ability to maintain permanent access to our electronic journals. Process is important. With the right process, we have been able to add links automatically to our journal; links to references, links to citations (where the electronic material exists) and internal links for ease of navigation within the journal. Readers like this. Links are important.
