- I have chosen to make the STM (Scientific, Technical and Medical) journal the main focus of this article. The STM journal has a moreclearly defined role for its authors andreaders which makes it easier for me to compare the old and new models discussed. So from this point on I will usethe phrase ‘STM journal’ rather than the more general ‘academic journal’
- The current model of the STM journal is the result of many years of evolution. Thefact that it has retained its present general structure for nearly two centuries impliesit must be doing something right, i.e., it must be playing a real role.
- This is the essence of the third insight– the realisation that it is possible to have a model for STM publishing that can satisfy the needs of the STM community without a central publisher/co-ordinator. This can be achieved by involving a collection of co-operating actors or agencies.
