Activities scholars undertake to beviewed as productive and tenurable (publication in traditionalmedia) are out of sync with the activities they must engage itto be well informed and well connected (participation in electroniccommunication forums). This work examines the challenges andprovides a time line for the legitimization, codification, organization,and general maturation of electronic scholarly publishing. Itis anticipated that the role of relatively unstructured, uncontrolled,and informal electronic scholarly communication will be of continuedimportance, yet will largely remain independent of efforts tocreate standards and protocols for electronic books, journals,and other transformed traditional media.Résumé:Les activités propices à faireavancer la carrière de chercheurs (à savoir la publicationdans les médias traditionnels) ne sont pas les mêmes quecelles leur permettant d'être bien informés et apparentés(à savoir la participation aux forums de communication électronique).Cet article examine les défis que présentent la légitimation,la codification, l'organisation et le développement généralde l'édition savante électronique, et propose un calendrierpour surmonter ces défis. Il prévoit qu'une communicationélectronique relativement non-structurée, non-contrôléeet informelle continuera à avoir un rôle important, touten échappant en grande partie aux efforts d'établir desstandards et des protocoles pour livres et journaux électroniquesainsi que pour d'autres médias traditionnels transformés.
