  • Description: <jats:p> Currently, 13 Malaysian e-journals are found on the Web. Focuses on the Electronic Journal of the University of Malaya (EJUM),which hosts the ejournals Malaysian Journal of Computer Science (MJCS), Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science (MJLIS),and Journal of Problem-Based Learning (JPBL). EJUMis modelled for uniformity in terms of searching, retrieval and display of search results. Independence is ensured for each journal in terms of editorial policy, style of publication and content. Through EJUM, academic publishers can be involved in electronic publishing. Publishers are able to archive older issues, automate the editorial and refereeing process, and receive subscribers' access reports. Users have varied search and retrieval options and a profiling service to alert them of new articles. This host allows refereed journal publishers to ‘park' within the system free of charge. </jats:p>
