The JEP is published by the University of Michigan Press, is free and available online at <http://www.press.umich.edu/jep>. Apart from the articles cited below in the new issue, readers will probably also be interested in the re-print of Malcolm Getz' paper, "An Economic Perspective on E-Publishing in Academia," <http://www.press.umich.edu:80/jep/03-01/getz.html>, delivered this April at the Scholarly Communication and Technology conference, organized by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation at Emory University.

You can't tear out an article to put in your files. You have to buy an expensive machine, learn a confusing interface, and master a cranky connection even to open it up. So why does anyone publish a scholarly peer-reviewed journal electronically? Editors of eight electronic-only peer-reviewed scholarly journals answer that question in the latest edition of The Journal of Electronic Publishing, available now at <http://www.press.umich.edu/jep>. JEP is published by the University of Michigan Press. JEP has a new design, a new format, and a host of new articles (including reviews JEP itself, and brave commentary by a librarian who wants to invest in article futures and by a university-press leader who prefers paper). The JEP reincarnation has come with the editorship of Judith Axler Turner, who sharpened her e-publishing teeth creating the online version of The Chronicle of Higher Education. The September issue of this sparkling online quarterly is entitled ELECTRONIC JOURNALS: Why? -- A look at how eight e-journals came about, and what they offer that you can't get in print The invited feature articles are: ACM's Journal of Experimental Algorithmics "Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice" by Bernard M. E. Moret ACM Earth Interactions "Transcending the Limitations of the Printed Page" by Judy C. Holoviak American Geophysical Union and Keith L. Seitter American Meteorological Association The Electronic Journal of Cognitive and Brain Science "Democracy Replaces Peer Review in an All-Electronic Journal" by Zoltan Nadasdy Rutgers University First Monday "Waiting for Thomas Kuhn" by Edward J. Valauskas Internet Mechanics Living Reviews in Relativity "Making an Electronic Journal Live" by Jennifer Wheary and Bernard Schutz Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics Public-Access Computer Systems Review "Testing the Promise" by Pat Ensor and Thomas C. Wilson University of Houston Libraries RSNA EJ "Beyond Paper Images: Radiology on the Web" by Laurens V. Ackerman Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center and Alphonse Simonaitis RSNA TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism "A Modern Experiment in Studying the Ancients" by James R. Adair, Jr. Scholars Press In addition, the issue includes invited articles by Mike Cuenca, William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of Kansas; Paul M. Gherman, Vanderbilt University; Peter Grenquist, New York University; and Thom Lieb, Towson University. JEP is continuing its effort to find and reprint articles important to electronic publishing that have appeared elsewhere. The September issue includes an excerpt from conference proceedings in textual scholarship, an article on the economics of online publishing, and an article on how electronic publishing supports the Muslim diaspora community. JEP welcomes submissions of original articles for peer review, and of articles that have appeared elsewhere that are of interest to JEP's unique audience, publishers, authors, and scholars interested in the online-publishing environment.
