On Friday, 13 September 1996, ODP/TAMU received a directive from JOI that outlined the new plan for moving from book to electronic publications. The summary below outlines the plan.
A Publications Steering Committee is being formed to provide advisory input to the Publications Department during the shift to electronic publications. The activities of the Steering Committee and the developments made by the Publications Department will be reported at all JOIDES Scientific Committee (SciCom) and EXCOM meetings.
During FY97 the Publications Department will develop a prototype all-electronic volume to be reviewed by the Publications Steering Committee. The shift to all-electronic publishing will proceed only when JOI receives (1) a positive recommendation from the Publications Steering Committee and (2) endorsement by JOIDES SciCom.
The following outlines the current ODP/TAMU publications plan to move to electronic Initial Reports and Scientific Results volumes. This plan is based on the assumption that the Publications Steering Committee and JOIDES SciCom endorse the move by the end of FY97.
