Abstract

One hundred and fifty experts in electronic publishing, scientists, publishers, librarians and lawyers, assembled in UNESCO House in Paris during the week of 19–23 February to discuss the current situation of Electronic Publishing in Science. The conference was jointly organized by ICSU Press and UNESCO and was the result of a study begun in 1993 after the last ICSU General Assembly. Invitations were issued to ICSU family members and UNESCO Delegations, who nominated experienced persons representing their interests to participate. Invited speakers surveyed the field, before participants split into five workshops to discuss specific issues leading to recommendations on the subjects of peer review and codes of practice, electronic archives, financial considerations, the scientist's working environment and developing countries.
