Digital publishing is still in its infancy, but it is useful to relate what might be called the prologue to the history of digital publishing in French in Quebec. This article presents the actors who have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the transition from print to digital culture in Quebec. It offers a panoramic view of this transition in the various publishing genres from newspapers and magazines, to journals, books, theses, dictionaries, bibliographical databases, and legal texts. A typology of the actors working in these different genres emerges, comprising publisher, aggregator (general or specialist), distributor, production technician, retailer, and librarian. The builders of Quebec's digital publishing milieu are acknowledged through brief descriptions of their projects and enterprises. Many of them have displayed a notable capacity to engage in the development of new models for the production and diffusion of culture and research. The quality of their products, services, and expertise has been recognized several times over through international partnerships and co-operative ventures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses both print and electronic book versions available for the works of Roman philosopher and political theorist Marcus Tullius Cicero. Texts by Cicero were traditionally used for two purposes, for the study of Latin language and culture, and by more experienced scholars in fields such as rhetoric and political philosophy. A discussion of the history of printed works of Cicero from the nineteenth-century to the present, including topics such as the digitalization of books by Project Gutenberg, Amazon.com, and how Portable Document Format (PDF) files changed the effectiveness of reading electronic books, is presented.

The article provides an overview of the history of the Scholarly Digital Editions, a small academic publisher focused on producing electronic versions of scholarly books. Topics considered include the sale of electronic texts on CD-ROMs, the advent of the World Wide Web, and the author's work on the Canterbury Tales Project, scholarly research which started with the Hengwrt manuscript held at the National Library of Wales of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." Scholarly Digital Editions was founded in 2000 to publish the findings of the Canterbury Tales Project and similar scholarly works.

This essay discusses the technological and social impacts of electronic books and electronic publishing. The authors examine the ways that intellectuals in the humanities fields interact with computerized information resources. The article calls for increased users studies to determine the ways that reading has changed when one interacts with digital texts rather than printed ones. Some of the topics discussed include the methods that scholars in the humanities conduct their research, the design and construction of online information resources, and how humanities scholars are different than scientists in the ways that they approach research tasks.

This is the last issue of the year, and the Transactions is making great strides to improve the publication timelines. We are in the process of upgrading the web review system to incorporate processing manuscripts post acceptance. This will provide a convenient portal for Rita Janssen, our industrious adminstrative editor, and authors to remain in communication through the entire process up to publication. Furthermore, the system should enable rapid posting of the manuscripts onto Xplore, which is an enhancement that many students and junior faculty will appreciate. The rapid post will be considered a "publication" even though all the editing and typesetting is not complete. For the researcher, this will mean that credit for your work will be given earlier. And for the editorial board, this will mean that our time from manuscript submission to publication should be reduced by about 6 months. This enhanced web review system will also allow us to perpetually archive all files related to a published paper in one location. We hope that this upgrade goes live by February 2015.

The article discusses the open access publishing policy of the journal as of 2017. Topics include the benefits of open access papers, the publishing charges starting in 2017, the discounts for board members, invited contributions and authors of special issues and the details on the online submission of articles.

With the rapid growth of the Internet, the ability of users to create and publish content has created active electronic communities that provide a wealth of product information. However, the high volume of reviews that are typically published for a single product makes harder for individuals as well as manufacturers to locate the best reviews and understand the true underlying quality of a product. In this paper, we reexamine the impact of reviews on economic outcomes like product sales and see how different factors affect social outcomes such as their perceived usefulness. Our approach explores multiple aspects of review text, such as subjectivity levels, various measures of readability and extent of spelling errors to identify important text-based features. In addition, we also examine multiple reviewer-level features such as average usefulness of past reviews and the self-disclosed identity measures of reviewers that are displayed next to a review. Our econometric analysis reveals that the extent of subjectivity, informativeness, readability, and linguistic correctness in reviews matters in influencing sales and perceived usefulness. Reviews that have a mixture of objective, and highly subjective sentences are negatively associated with product sales, compared to reviews that tend to include only subjective or only objective information. However, such reviews are rated more informative (or helpful) by other users. By using Random Forest-based classifiers, we show that we can accurately predict the impact of reviews on sales and their perceived usefulness. We examine the relative importance of the three broad feature categories: “reviewer-related” features, “review subjectivity” features, and “review readability” features, and find that using any of the three feature sets results in a statistically equivalent performance as in the case of using all available features. This paper is the first study that integrates econometric, text mining, and predictive modeling techniques toward a more complete analysis of the information captured by user-generated online reviews in order to estimate their helpfulness and economic impact.

The article reflects on the launch of the online commenting facility rule of the "Nature" magazine. It notes that the online discussions on its research papers are considered more inhibited. It points out that paper comment in the formal context of its Web site may be intimidating to some scientists or may offend the colleagues. It announces that the magazine adopts a twin-track approach to meet the demand of its readers using its commenting facility.

The author suggests to conference organizers to consider publishing papers in the periodical "Information Research" in order to attract participants. He cites that journals have wider circulation compared to conference proceedings. He emphasizes that papers available on the Web are more likely to be used than those that are published in toll access journals. He recommends open access journal publishing to authors in order to reach their target audience.

The article announces the change from paper and Web site to on-line publication and distribution of the journal "Clin Invest Med." It offers potential advantages for authors, readers and our parent society which will become increasingly obvious as the features are gradually introduced. Meanwhile, reports show that the use of the web to expand paper journals and the growth of Web-only journals was found to be increasing rapidly.

The article focuses on a controversy related to open-access publishing. A study published online in the open-access "Public Library of Science Biology" suggests that free papers get cited more often. The analysis was conducted by Gunther Lysenbach of the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation in Toronto, Canada. It looked at the articles published from June to December 2004 in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," after the journal started letting authors pay $1000 to make their papers immediately available for free. It showed that by April 2005, 78 of the 212 open-access articles had not been cited versus 627 of the 1280 regular articles, which are free online after 6 months. The open-access papers were twice as likely to be cited by April 2005 and three times as likely by October 2005. They also averaged more citations with 6.4 per paper versus 4.5. Some editors admitted that they have a strong and vested interest in the paper but say that it underwent unusually thorough review.

The article focuses on the changes within 'The Journal of Experimental Biology." Raul Suarez has been designated to handle manuscripts in metabolic physiology and Janis Weeks to handle submissions in neurophysiology. There is an increase emphasis on rapid electronic publishing. Thus, contributing authors of each paper are allowed to distribute the link to anyone requesting a copy of their paper. Michaela Handel has been appointed as a managing editor.

The author reflects on the completion of the first period of the editorial life of Microbial Cell Factories as an Open Access journal by printing research papers and reviews.

The article discusses the status of open access publishing by academic societies. As scholarly journal publishing continues the transition from print-on-paper subscriptions to licensed and open electronic publishing via the Web, the academic societies serving clinicians, faculty, and researchers in the basic and clinical health sciences will play a central role in determining the ultimate success of "open access" alternatives to commercial publishing. The Council of Academic Societies (CAS) Journal Study collected bibliographic, pricing, editorial policy, and other data from each journal and its sponsoring CAS member, leading to a descriptive summary analysis of the status of journal publishing by these societies. Of the 98 CAS members, 51 sponsor or publish at least 1 journal and, altogether, these societies publish just over 100 titles. Nearly half of these journals are published by or with the help of a commercial publisher, with Elsevier publishing twice as many as the next largest commercial publisher of these journals.

This article presents the authors' views on the contributions made by researchers for the December 1, 2004 issue of the journal "Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures." Professor Mike Brown stepped down from the editorial team and Professor Eann Patterson moving from the University of Sheffield to Michigan State University. The authors thanked Brown for the substantial amount of time and effort that he contributed to the Journal during his period as an editor. Next issue will see the introduction of further improvements, including electronic submission and processing of manuscripts. Whilst the traditional paper submission and processing will remain available for some time, it is anticipated that electronic processing will provide a convenient service for the authors and reviewers.

The article stresses the need to increase the speed of the process of online publishing. It cites factors that impede an improved turnaround time, including author resubmission. Also noted is the Varmus Principle, which states that important research papers should be published online so that they become immediately and freely available to readers. It adds that there are ways in which less privileged nations can gain subsidies to assist in publication costs, provided the principle is upheld.
