August 30, 1995 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Online Journal of Psychology Conference Presentations (OJPCP) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Online Academic Research Incorporated, a Canadian electronic publishing company, announced plans today to publish a series of Internet-based academic and research journals,starting with the Online Journal of Psychology Conference Presentations, to appear in February, 1995 on the worldwide web (WWW). Here is some preliminary information on the Journal ... Background As no permanent forum exists for the publishing of Psychology conference posters, presentations, papers, symposia and invited addresses, access to those materials is difficult after the conference has concluded. This journal will provide easy, economical and long-term access to these materials, allowing other researchers and practitioners to more easily find, review and cite presentations in this important body of work. The journal will publish posters and other conference presentations (papers, symposia and invited addresses) in the field of Psychology in an online format. Only those presentations which have been vetted by academic and professional associations and presented at conferences, meetings and conventions will be accepted. Conference material published in OJPCP may be published in another journal as long as that journal publication makes it clear that the data was presented previously at the conference and in OJPCP. The Journal will be a password-protected site on the World Wide Web of the Internet, which may be accessed without long-distance charges by subscribers worldwide using NetScape, Mosaic or other HTML browsing software on a Mac, PC or UNIX system with Internet access at 14.4KBAUD or faster. Subscription rates start at $75 US per year. The home page of the Journal will offer a monthly table of contents, with a link button on each entry leading to its abstract, and a button there leading to the actual presentation itself for viewing online. You can search through the presentations online by author, title, date, conference, overall topic and keywords. You can also capture any graphics directly in NetScape and/or download the full text of the actual presentation (in text format) to your computer for later reading offline. We anticipate several thousand presentations will be published in the first year alone. While the site will maintain all posters submitted online, we will also publish an annual CD edition (PC and Mac format) of all presentations, to be sold separately. Anticipated first on-line issue due: February 1996 Technical Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Text for presentations should ideally be on a 3.52 floppy disk (Mac or PC), saved in a recent version of WordPerfect, MS Word or just as a plain ASCII text file. Graphics should also be on 3.52 Mac or PC floppy disk, saved in any of these formats: EPS, TIFF (no higher than 150 dpi), PICT, GIF, CGM, WMF or Lotus PIC. If your presentation exists on paper only and not on disk, send us a clean copy of all the pages, numbered properly. We will scan in the pages and format them, but there will be a small additional formatting fee, based on the complexity of the job. We will inform you on the amount when we receive the paper materials. Standard submission and formatting fee: $95 US. Turnaround time: 30 days.
