A Prototype Electronic Journal

9403835博伊斯美国天文学会将制作其参考研究出版物《天体物理学期刊快报》的在线版本，并将开发创新程序和新工具，以提高用户充分和有效利用研究成果的能力。这个开创性的项目是第一个使用主要期刊的项目，当这个项目完成时，将会有一个电子版的ApJL，其中包括数学和图形的屏幕表示。它将纳入各种工具，以搜索相关文章，交叉链接到其他参考文章的摘要，并以可能时可用于未来研究的形式提供对基本数据的直接访问。

9403835 Boyce The American Astronomical Society (AAS) will produce an on-line version of its refereed research publication, The Astrophysical Journal Letters (ApJL), and will develop innovative procedures and new tools to enhance the users' capability to make full and effective use of research results. When this pioneering project, the first to use a major journal, is completed there will be an electronic version of ApJL, complete with on-screen representation of mathematics and figures. It will incorporate tools to search for relevant articles, to cross-link to the abstracts of other referenced articles, and to provide direct access to the underlying data in forms which can be used for future research when possible.
