Abstract

A set of automated electronic archives of research information that have been operational in many fields of physics and some related disciplines has been developed. On the other hand the most important field of scholarly publishing at the present - electronic journal publishing - is strongly affected by these archives in the field of physics and a new vision of scientific publishing is emerging. Spread electronic communication, supported by such well organised electronic archives, has created new ways to distribute the results of scientific research and is forcing scientist and publishers to reassess the old procedures and consider new possibilities. Some initiatives as The Open Archives initiative (OAi) promotes a complete transformation of scholarly communication model. The development of this new concept of scientific publishing is slow down by the fact that researchers still are under constant pressure to publish traditionally for getting direct financial remuneration in the form of royalties, rather then write primarily to communicate information for the advancement of knowledge.
