abstract: |-
The final state toward which the learned journal literature is evolving in the age
of networked hypermedia is as inevitable as it is optimal: Sooner or later, the
entire corpus will be fully and freely accessible and navigable from the desk of
any thinker in the world. The effects of this on the scope and pace of Learned
Inquiry itself will be revolutionary, comparable only to the impact of three prior
cognitive revolutions: the advent of speech itself, then writing, then print.
Learned Inquiry, always communal and cumulative, will not only be
immeasurably better informed, new findings percolating through minds and
media almost instantaneously, but it will also become incomparably more
interactive, with collaborative, creative, critical, and self-corrective cycles
accelerable, potentially, almost to the speed of thought
