Electronic Journal of the University of Malaya (EJUM): An Attempt to Provide a Truly Electronic Environment

摘要

The development of EJUM as a journal hosting system has reduced many of the mundane and tedious tasks associated with a paper-based system. It will stimulate electronic publishing of scholarly journals, making local research more accessible to students and researchers. It will contribute to the enrichment of Malaysia's info-structure, building a corpus of refereed science and technology journals available over the Internet. It has the potential to stimulate collaboration among Malaysian and Asian scholarly publishers. The challenge thus far hasbeen to encourage authors and reviewers to fully utilize the electronic environment to submit and review articles.
