Breaking paper's stranglehold on the academy
Interesting piece on one possible model of the future of academic publishing. Especially note the mention of blogs, wikis, and collaborative processess.
From arstechnica.com:
"While most journals now offer online access to subscribers (often through databases like Project Muse and JSTOR), these journals are still printed, bound, and distributed. Purely electronic journals have yet to match their printed compatriots in prestige and authority, but USC's Institute for the Future of the Book wants to change that. Its new MediaCommons program is a test bed for purely digital academic publishing projects."
