I shared one of my articles published online in a journal with someone. He said that articles published in paper/print format carry more value, and online publication without any paper format has less value. Sometimes, even it is of no value. I am not sure, in this era while the world is trying to be paperless, how far his comment is true. Can anyone help me?
Online publication carries same value as the in paper in print format . Only thing is that online paper you have to down load to get print. You may need permission to download
I think this often depends on your field and on the journal itself. There is a growing push for more online and open-access publications, so I think this is going to change rapidly in upcoming years as well, with online publication becoming more and more acceptable...
Thank you sir Mr. Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh for your contribution.
There is no difference between print publication and online publication. Both carry same weightage. Currently some journals have discarded print publication. Most of the open access journals do not have printed version (Single ISSN number). Many journals keep both online and print publication (Two ISSN numbers can be found). If there is an old journal which still does not have online version, it is advisable to stop submitting an article. Because circulation of printed journals is meager and costly compared to open access or subscription based online articles.
