Researchers have explored alternative publishing venues before, but these efforts have in my experience been centered around a specific field or scholarly community. But print journals are still the main game in town. The Chronicle reports on recent trends away from this, citing a computer science study showing an overwhelming shift towards citing online works over offline works. The report describes recent institutional efforts to develop 'superarchives' of scholarly work. (It will be very cool when, instead of looking for the reverse citation index, you can just check your Google rank to see how influential your research is.) 9:26:41 AM     BBC: One billion computers and counting. 9:20:22 AM
