Both the mathematics and theoretical physics communities have used internet publications as their principal means of communicating new findings.
Manuscripts appear on-line almost immediately, often without peer review.
Many of these manuscripts are never peer reviewed nor do they ever make it to paper publication, but they are referenced. Mathematicians and physicists appear to be able to evaluate their own work and realize the consequences of publishing prematurely. We should expect no less of biotechnologists. We will review manuscripts ranging from fundamental cell biology to biophysics to chemical engineering. This broad definition of biotechnology is intended to cause cross-fertilization among the disciplines of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and medicine.
