ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of "Towards Electronic Journals"
(Tenopir & King 2000a,b) was to report the current state of
scientific journal publishing, not to predict the future of the
field. We respond to charges that our work treats scientific
publishing as a homogenous entity rather than differentiating among
individual subject areas. We defend the validity of our data and
models as benchmarks, rather than predictors. Despite the
weaknesses identified by the critiques, the book develops several
themes for future consideration and provides sound indicators of
scientific journal publishing and its affect on scientists'
readership, authorship, information seeking patterns, and on
library and intermediary services.

ABSTRACT: This precis of "Towards Electronic Journals" (Tenopir
& King 2000) focuses mostly on scientists' perspective as
authors and readers, how changes over the years by publishers
and librarians have affected scientists, and what they should
expect from electronic journal and digital journal article
databases. We describe some myths concerning scholarly journals
and attempt to assess the future in a realistic manner. Most of
our primary data involves U.S. scientists, libraries and
publishers, but much of the secondary data is from a European
perspective, which shows few differences.
