Introduction to Electronic Publishing on the Internet

摘要

Publishing electronically is becoming increasingly important as global networks expand, providing a new audience for the new medium. The volume of information available electronically is staggering, and electronic media are becoming available to thousands of more people daily. The audience for electronic publishing is vast, educated, scientifically and technologically sophisticated, and international, perhaps more so than for print publications. Electronic professional journals (e-journals) are gaining acceptability, especially when editors exercise credible peer review. Because many technical communicators are technologically oriented, they are well positioned to facilitate electronic document publishing. Knowing how to use the Internet can be an important job skill.
