Written documents are the history of our creative thinking. Tenure and promotion requires the publication of papers. The federal government sponsors the research and the universities pay the faculty and graduate students. Faculty editors work to manage the journals and recruit faculty papers with faculty refereeing, all with no remuneration. Then commercial and professional publishers charge huge subscriptions to libraries and faculty to read the journal.
All profits go to the publishers.
We are developing a series of e-journals that will be free of charge to the reader. The scholarship will be of the highest level, requiring refereeing to the highest standards. Being web-based journals, the authors can place a vast repository of information as a resource to the interested reader. The technology will determine what can be offered. Financial support for these e-journals will come from advertisers who are eager to present their products to such a highly professional, talented, and financially able group of readers.
