Journal-type Web Sites

Sample Journal-type Web Sites

The journals in this list have been selected to provide examples of the use of hypertext, and to illustrate the extent to which hypertext can be used creatively, artistically and informatively.
The first group contains sites with lists of electronic journal resources.
Journals in the second group represent the majority of electronic journals available at this time. Links are used primarily to connect entries in the table of contents to locations within the journal, for example, to bibliographies, notes and biographies of authors.

Examples in the final group are fully hypertextual. In addition to providing content, the authors of many of these sites use links to surprise and to delight the reader, and to create a sense of anticipation and excitement.

This collation is not intended to present "good" and "bad" sites, but rather to provide examples of the extent to which hypertext can be used creatively, artistically and informatively. Sites marked may prove especially inspiring to students of hypertext design, however.
