| Summary: | The development of the Internet as a means for mass communication affords scientists an opportunity to re-evaluate the way they communicate scientific results. The computer is no longer just a way for preparing a conventional print article but is an electronic publication medium in its own right. In this article, we will discuss how our new journal, the Internet Journal of Chemistry, is designed to take advantage of the new technologies available in this electronic medium. We will discuss the development of our concept of an electronic journal, our decision on the scope and coverage of the journal, the financial logistics, and how the journal will be implemented. Woven within will be our perspectives on how the technologies may be utilized and how this new medium compares with traditional print publication.
