Abstract
The choice to publish Linguistic Discovery in a purely electronic format has a range of benefits. The production costs are far lower than they would be for a print journal, which makes it possible to avoid subscription fees; the turn around time from receipt of a manuscript to publication can be cut dramatically in most cases; and most importantly, the inclusion of audio and video data, the potential for a dynamic presentation of information and the ability to link pages in a non-linear fashion open up intriguing possibilities about different ways of communicating discoveries about language. The electronic format of Linguistic Discovery also poses some challenges, two of which are of particular concern. First, there are technical issues about fonts, variations among browsers and platforms, search engines, and so on. Second, there are issues about archiving the journal. Although the former challenge is the one that our contributors tend to have the most questions about, and the one that adds most to the stress level of the editors, it is archiving that has the greater part in determining the continued success of the journal. For this reason, we felt it important to make some remarks on the topic.
