HighWire Press (Stanford
University Library) began in early 1995 with the online production of the weekly
Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC),
the most highly cited (and second largest) peer-reviewed journal.
Scientists and societies rapidly saw the potential for new forms and
features of scientific communication, and Science
and Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences soon joined JBC online.
HighWire now (September 2001)
offers approximately 1200 journals online, with many more
planned. The journals that
HighWire supports focus on science, technology, and medicine (STM) and are
preponderantly among the highest-impact journals in their fields.
