- The Humanist list has had an ongoing discussion of the lack of
- support for electronic publication in the humanities.
- Never-the-less, humanities electronic journals and peer review
- publications continue. One of the most successful peer review
- electronic publications is Psycholoqy which announces articles
- for review on Usenet and elsewhere, then makes the articles
- available by ftp at Princeton. In religious studies, Michael
- Strangelove at University of Toronto has compiled vast online text
- archives and bibliographies and can probably point you to
- electronic publishing options in the field.
