Other examples include Senders' (defunct) "On-line
Scientific Journal" (report in "The Information
Scientist" 2:1; and the Bristish BLEND. (B. Shackel,
The BLEND System.  Programme for the study of some
'electronic journals'., "Ergonomics" 25:4.

These experiments also attempt to add prestige to
publication by issuing parallell paper editions.

Shackels paper contains references to numerous
other experiments.

I believe that to experiment with a "true"
electronic journal you must:

1) NOT publish a parallell paper edition.  Then
   it be just another journal that also exist in
   machine readable form.

2) Having it exist within the framework of a large
   dynamic conference system, so that one can monitor
   the effect of those most interesting characteristics
   of using a computer:
   a) Very short time between acceptance and publication.
   b) "Instant" feedback, dialogue between author and reader.

Jacob Palme mentions <57941> the problem of paying the editor
of such an "Electronic magazine".  I am very interested in
the topic, and would be happy to accept the editorship of
such an magazine in COM@QZ without being paid.  However,
I proably could not get my University to pay for the
computer time such an activity would require at the
QZ Oden host, so QZ would have to donate the cycles.
