Annotation: The scholarly-publishing "industry" has been full of innovation these last 15+ years as the outputs—books and journals at the least, with datasets potentially to follow—have moved almost completely online in a transformative, yet transparent way. Transformative in that it now sounds quaint to talk about "e-journals," since the "e" is assumed. (We are not quite in that same place with e-books.) And transparent in the sense that structure of the scholar's workflow has not been altered substantially as each of the many steps—finding articles, reading articles, managing a literature database, writing and editing a manuscript, etc.—have individually gone online.
