Reactive E-Journals

[Gerry Mckiernan]

                               _Reactive E-Journals_

     In May 1999, I posted a query to various e-lists seeking the titles of additional e-journals that provide an opportunity for readers to comment on a published article an e-journal either as an annotation to segments of the article or a separate component of the e-journal 
[ http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/archive/9905/0455.html].

   I received several  responses from this posting and learned about  a handful  of such journals that offer this function and include

   Conservation Ecology 
   [  http://www.consecol.org/Journal/  ]
   [For an example see: http://www.consecol.org/Journal/vol2/iss2/resp1/index.html ]

   Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research'
   [ http://www.jair.org/ ]
   
   Journal of Interactive Media in Education

[BTW: The BioMOO Scholarly MOO
[ http://bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il/BioMOO/ ] offers a Journal Club in which within this MOO participants can comment about a specific journal article 
e.g. [  http://bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il/BioMOO/Meetings/940829-NSJC-4 ]

   I am greatly interested in learning about other Reactive E-Journals as well as any literature that have reviewed or commented [ :-)] or evaluated this interactive  functionality.

   As Always, Any and Al contributions, suggestions, comments, queries, critiques, criticisms, dimples, etc. are Most Welcome.
