Goodbye to Print Medical Journals? L Barco and C Iglesias Servicio de Dermatología, Hospital de Poniente, El Ejido, Almería, Spain [email_address]
Table.  Advantages and Disadvantages of the Electronic Format Advantages of the Electronic Format –  Access is simple (from home or other locations) and availability is almost instant at any time –  Complex searches are implemented more rapidly, accurately, and conveniently –  Specific information is more easily found (specific paragraphs) –  Several journals can be opened at a time –  No physical storage space (shelves and bookcases) is required –  References can be found and checked more rapidly and directly –  The same text can be accessed by more than one user at a time –  Access is independent of photocopying machines and libraries (except when access is confined to computer terminals belonging to the institution which pays for the subscription, such as hospitals, libraries, etc). Disadvantages of the Electronic Format –  The reading convenience and portability of print is lacking (cannot be read when one has a moment to spare, cannot be taken on journeys etc unless printed out) –  Access is more complex for new users –  Some operations–such as turning pages–are slower –  Connection or interface problems affect accessibility –  On-screen reading is more tiring and less comfortable –  The quality of illustrations and photographs is less satisfactory –  Additional time is required for downloading and printing –  No savings are made on paper and ink costs if an article is printed (and more so if the entire journal is printed) –  Access to articles already paid for is restricted once a subscription is canceled.
