If you follow me for news and comment on #OpenAccess and #ScholComm, I strongly recommend the 1996 essay by #JoshuaLederberg, "Electronic scientific publications: options for the future" (in the UNESCO collection at pp. 149-155). Lederberg was the 1958 Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, and wrote this essay just as researchers began using the internet and web for sharing research.
I post a few excerpts in the thread below.
