Conventional e-journals • main focus on automating traditional products of print publications… – electronic distribution (PDF) – maybe HTML –. . . little innovation in the process, or the products • few offer commentary on published work, even fewer with interactive, open peer reviewing • a few offer downloadable demos

Co-evolving technology with policy and practises • authors encouraged to back claims about interactivity with demonstrations for readers to try • articles tightly integrated with reviews in a web interface (discussion not in a separate listserver) • debating of submissions between authors, reviewers and the research community at large • seeking to embed multimedia inline on the Web (and streamline the process) for richer presentations of data and interactive materials

Open peer review process
