Electronic journals design and the visibility of the science on the Web

Abstract

The contemporary editorial production reveals the tensions between the traditional print world, with its physical limits of information, and the on-line space as a continuous place for information. This article argues about science visibility on the web, addressing topics such as identification, description and exchange of electronic resources in relation to design and to the quality and credibility of scientific publications. The unique characteristics of the editorial process as well as public-readers of these publications are taken into particular account.
