  Ejournals & Scholars: What Will Be the Impacts?
Stevan Harnad has been advocating for the use of electronic means for scholarly communication since the early 1990s.
Harnad thinks this is potentially the most important aspect of communication: the communication during the prepublication phase, which has traditionally been done over the telephone or at conferences as part of the invisible college (Harnad 1990).
Harnad also discusses the impact factor and asserts that the average impact factor of a printed article is 1 (lowest score) since very few articles are even read (Harnad 1997b).

 Summary of topic Symbolism Connectionism
Abstract: Harnad's (2001) main argument can be roughly summarised as follows: due to Searle's Chinese Room argument, symbol systems by themselves are insufficient to exhibit cognition, because the symbols are not grounded in the real world, hence without meaning.
Abstract: It is argued that Harnad's (2001) proposed solution to the symbol grounding problem falls short of the mark because it does not address the issues of HOW sensory invariants are embodied as symbols and, subsequently, how those symbols cause change.
Abstract: Harnad (2001) defines computation in a conventional way to mean the manipulation of physical symbol tokens on the basis of purely syntactic rules.

 Stevan Harnad's target article
The predominant approach to cognitive modeling is still what has come to be called ``computationalism'' (Dietrich 1990, Harnad 1990b), the hypothesis that cognition is computation.
In this hybrid model (Harnad 1992), I lean toward construing nets in their analog form, PAR, because of the role I assign them in processing analog sensory input, but if they could fulfill this role symbolically, that would be fine too.
In a grounded symbol system there is a second constraint, that of the nonarbitrary ``shape'' of the sensory invariants that connect the symbol to the analog sensory projection of the object to which it refers.

Stevan Harnad, Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Southampton, has been--and continues to be--a visionary regarding digital publication of scholarly journals.
Near the end of the exchange, Harnad refers to the need for "demonstrations, evangelism, polemics and subversion" to drive forward the changes he sees as "the optimal and the inevitable for scholars and scholarship;" here, he provides some of all four of these.
Since Harnad is the best articulator of his own vision, I will provide his responses as they appeared in the interview, rather than digest them.

 Main Articles: 'Developing an agenda for institutional e-print archives', Ariadne Issue 29
Stevan Harnad, Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Southampton, then gave a paper on The potential of institutional eprint archives.
Stevan’s intention was to narrow this focus back to the original publication type, something he now calls the ‘Self-Archiving Initiative.’ He began by firstly pointing out that Southampton is developing a ‘quick and simple’ version of ‘industrial strength’ e-print software which makes installation much simpler.
Stevan argued that Institutional libraries need to be rethought of as outgoing collections, which give as well as take.
