This is a dynamic, interactive electronic research publication that discusses and demonstrates the advantages of dynamic, interactive electronic research publications.
Applets offer the user a more powerful way to interact with Web pages.
Research authors can construct electronic publications that allow readers to execute applets to reproduce computational results. Authors also can include dynamic and interactive applets to present the results and insights in ways not possible with static media. This brings an immediacy to research that was not possible before and thus could change not only how research is published but how research is conducted and what research is done. This publication contains links to applets that demonstrate the potential uses of Java in research.
