"The 5th edition of a popular guide that provides an overview of the potentials and pitfalls of electronic journal publishing. While not specifically written for an African audience, it is an excellent resource for African journal editors and publishers who are contemplating switching to an electronic environment. It introduces all the issues that will need to be considered before taking such a step. This includes a discussion of the benefits and challenges of electronic publishing; the decisions that will have to be made when changing to an online (or print/online) publication; the hosting issues involved; licensing considerations; issues relating to open access; the changes that would be required in editorial procedures, sales and marketing; and the likely costs in terms of both time and money/people, and how these costs might be recouped. It also offers a range of sales models for online journals and step-by-step guidelines how to plan for a switch to online publication." (Hans M.
