The Dynamic Review Journal: Support for Creating and Using the Literature

Description/Abstract

An archive of digital literature, together with its users and its contents, does not exist in isolated splendour. There is a cycle of activities which provides the context for the archive's existence, and which the archive supports through its various roles of information access, discovery, storage, dissemination and preservation. This paper focuses on a specific framework, the Dynamic Review Journal, which supports the development and dissemination of literature by assisting authors in collating and analyzing experimental results, organizing internal project discussions, and producing papers. By bridging the gap between the undertaking of experimental work and the dissemination of its results through electronic publication, this work addresses the cycle of activity in which a digital archive rests.
