Abstract

Today's scholarly articles are passive entities. Using tags, object-oriented programming techniques, and Web services programming it may be possible to make future articles active participants in scholarship. A possible transition to "cyberactive articles" will involve a substantial change in how we perceive the work of scholarship and the role of academic journals. This articles suggests that future scholarship may become "literary engineering" supported by appropriate software tools.
