Digital Publishing Revolutionizing Peer To Peer Journals

One of the areas in which digital publishing is having its greatest impact is in scientific and other peer to peer journals. These publications have always been a venue for publication of articles and findings based on ongoing research for review by others in the same fields. However, the backlog of articles submitted has grown to a point where it can take up to two years to get an article or report published.

Uploading these articles and reports to a digital archive that is accessible by members of the peer group who can read, check, and/or edit the contents has brought peer to peer journals back up to date. The digital publication of such journals also includes past issues that have been archived and can be accessed to check past findings.

Giving the peer community the opportunity to proof reports and research findings and making results available for other groups to use as a basis for their own work is also speeding up the scientific process in many cases and fields, especially medicine.

Digital publishing is changing the way people receive information and entertainment in many ways. It is also revolutionizing the peer review process for new scientific findings by getting information published in electronic format faster than it can be put into print and distributed.
