MANAGING ACADEMIC E-JOURNALS.

The article presents information on managing academic e-journals. Though e-publishing is relatively inexpensive, e-publisher survival still depends on the age-old virtues of content quality and author credibility. the advantages of e-journals seem obvious: no backlog, quicker editing and production cycles, minimal initial capital and one can publish new types of material. But e-publishing also involves risks, hidden costs and trade-offs. This article presents a framework for implementing and managing academic e-journals. The seven factors introduced in influence publishing in the information age. We've adapted this framework to academic e-publishing, adding an eight factor- mannerism. The four technology related factors are driven by the medium, or the tools used to store display the material, or the published content, which can vary depending on the medium being used. The mode includes the symbols and language used to present text, as well as visual or audio material. The mean of distribution describes how publications are delivered: physically (CD-ROM), electronically (Internet), periodically (synchronized), or as soon as it's ready.
