That would go a long way. Originally conceived as E-Biomed in 1999 to be an electronic print server. Now a repository for research articles donated by journals. Site host for more than 200 peer-reviewed journals, including Science , Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , and the Journal of Biological Chemistry . Run as a department of Stanford.
Costs depend on policies of individual journals housed on the site.
Most important are preserving the quality of review and developing archives to allow comprehensive and easy browsing and searching of current and past literature. Success for online publishing depends on the speed and quality of the peer review. BioMed Central aims for a 10-day turnaround, with posting within 24 hours of approval, said Godlee. These fully online papers raise questions about how the scientific citation system, journal impact factors, and other staples used in the scientific community to measure success in the university tenure process may evolve along with them. Meanwhile, debates from the New York conference continue as it undergoes its own sort of peer review.
