Abstract

Electronic publishing is rapidly becoming the dominant mode of scientific communication, but it is still a nascent medium with much room for improvement. The lack of a rapid feedback mechanism for our papers is still a significant problem. Fortunately, because of the flexibility and dynamic nature of the internet, it should be relatively easy to fix this. Letting me know how often my articles are downloaded or accessed is one step, although it will not tell me who is doing the downloading.
