Visibility is important for all involved, and researchers and publishing houses are realizing that distribution of research via e-publications can be permanently archived and preserved by academic libraries. Moreover, it is free with significant web-based advantages over existing print journals. Hence, until recently, it wasn t possible to create a virtual scientific data base with selected web connections through hypertext links to web documents. The Internet volume of related articles and interconnected resources from around the world are radical departures from p-journals. EJournals are global in scale.
Exercise physiology is thus on the brink of global departure from commonplace distribution methods.
JEP online and PEP online are unprecedented exercise physiology publications. They exist as electronic opportunities to link academically and clinically with research institutions and healthcare settings on a global scale. JEP online is, in particular, the scholarly skywriting exercise physiology journal to present research data. It sets the stage for exercise physiology research interaction and brainstorming, and even peer criticism. With web based interactive software, the interactiveness is beyond the scope of p-journals.
