Some questions to ask yourself about electronic journals
What is the coverage and what information is available online - tables of contents, abstracts, full text of some articles, full text of every article...?
Who has published the journal on the Internet and how reputable is this publisher?
Are articles peer reviewed or filtered by editors and proof readers?
Will some users be able to access more information than others? eg is there a charge, a need for a site license or special software/hardware?
Are archives of previous editions of the journal available?
Is the site kept up to date?
