Challenges
Organization – editorial and production/publication
Need to have sustained content generation Clarification of goals, markets, customers Cost – setup and maintenance; customer service

Takes advantage of current and developing technology
Measure web performance, patient outcomes Custom publishing, new products, tools Social networking Branding Community building

being developed by: Learned societies Commercial publishers Not-for-profit organizations University departments Large laboratories
But, still at a very early stage
How to publish?Where to publish?
How to decide?
Depends on type of content Primary research material, clinical studies,
case reports - “JOURNALS” Which journal(s)? What’s important to me?
Impact factor? Top tier journals, with highest IFs Top notch editors, editorial boards
Open access? Open access/open choice journals
Need to pay author fees Funding requirements

“Textbooks” How to publish a textbook?
Identify your priorities/goals Identify your market Assess your resources Possible publication venues
Commercial company University Press Self-publish
For profit As OER
Building an information community
