abstracts & titles

[Hilbrecht@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Heinz Hilbrecht)]

Progress is mostly faster than expected. There is a WWW homepage in the
U.K. that collects links to indexes of journals in the geosciences. The
address is:

http://www.glg.ed.ac.uk/~ajsw/doc/journals_FAQ.html

I think Paleontology journals are well advised to distribute their list of
contents and potentially other text (abstracts?) through their own WWW
pages and link these to the existing server. The page holds some articles
from journals in addition, e.g. the GeoLogic articles from Terra Nova. Much
is in an experimental stage which reminds me of the discussion we had
recently about electronic publishing. Up to now geophysics and hard rock
journals contribute. Paleontology would increase the diversity on this
server (and would make the geoscience ecosystem more stable?).
