--- abstract: 'Stevan Harnad, Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Southampton, has been--and continues to be--a visionary regarding digital publication of scholarly journals. In a wide-ranging discussion, we explored how his ideas about an electronic-only model of scholarly publication have evolved in the half-decade since he first elaborated them, including such topics as costs, archiving, preservation, and the role of commercial publishers. Near the end of the exchange, Harnad refers to the need for "demonstrations, evangelism, polemics and subversion" to drive forward the changes he sees as "the optimal and the inevitable for scholars and scholarship;" here, he provides some of all four of these. Since Harnad is the best articulator of his own vision, I will provide his responses as they appeared in the interview, rather than digest them.' altloc: - http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Papers/Harnad/harnad99.ejforum.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Duranceau given: Ellen honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Harnad given: Stevan honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1999 date_type: published datestamp: 2001-07-18 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/16/96 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1696 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/1696/1/harnad99.ejforum.html full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'refereed journal literature, peer-review, archiving, costs of publishing' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:45 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: 109-115 pubdom: FALSE publication: Serials Review publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: |-2 Bachrach, S., Berry, S.R., Blume, M., von Foerster, T., Fowler, A., Ginsparg, P., Heller, S., Kestner, N., Odlyzko, A., Okerson, A., Wigington, R., & Moffat, A.
