Query: „When will all major subject areas be served by large preprint archives?“ (median: 2008, 20% never)
The Journal of the Future• Customised collections of articles, put together
according to the users’ personal interest profiles.
• Articles will be tagged with quality labels and stored in large knowledge environments.
• Articles will be replaced by dynamic information objects that represent versions of a paper over time.
All options are possible. Possibly along side each other.

Query: „Libraries will in future offer unrestricted access to core journals through license agreements and pay-per-use access to journals of secondary importance.“

- different publishing formats- different publishing formats- different access models- different access models- different cost and pricing models- different cost and pricing models
Choosing the right option will be our challenge for the future
