Abstract
From the first inscriptions of Homeric verse nearly 3000 years ago, the editor-publisher has sought to claim a place as welcome interloper between author and reader—a communicator sharing information with others, often at a price. The Internet has punctuated the gradual evolution of this traditional publishing world, leaving its future uncertain. One prediction is, perhaps, safe to make: the role of journals will never be quite the same again. Rather than act as a passive relay point for our reading community, journal sites on the web are likely to become a prominent forum amongst readers for immediate exchange of news and ideas, promoting dialogue and moderating discussion. Editors will become more active mediators in this process.
