Abstract
The limitations of
existing proposed and operational
publishing models intended to replace
the academic journal are briefly
reviewed. Three ‘insights’ are
described, the first is into the
‘means/end’ confusion of much
current net-based publishing activity,
the second is that it is the purpose, not
the form, that is the important aspect
of the traditional academic journal
model, and the third is that
satisfactory net-based publishing
models need not contain a central
publisher. From this new viewpoint is
developed the Deconstructed Journal
(DJ) model which it is suggested is a
better model for network based
academic publishing. It also solves
some of the problems of the current
model. Although the main focus of the
DJ model is the replacement of the
STM journal it has implications
for all areas of academic journal
publishing.
