Print media has been virtually overtaken by instantaneous dissemination via internet. Advertisements are providing research-work with free access to scientific publications. And yet, many high impact journals sell access to individual users on hefty payment. What future holds in store for end-user?
Absolutely astounding impact !!!! As you have said, the audio-visual and high accessibility impact of internet has taken the dissemination of scientific information by storm ! Everything has been made apparently so easy and yet at times, so expensive too ! The end-users, in a way, I believe , will be more benefited than anything else!

Thanks! But restricted visiblility of high impact journals on internet shall change their circulation strategies or continue with 'hide-pay-seek' technique?
They will remain inaccessible, of course, which is not at all a thing to be applauded, but we definitely can't deny the role Internet and overall IT has played in dissemination of knowledge !
