\uc1\pard\plain\deftab360 \f0\fs20\cf0 I'm not familiar with hacking but I've heard about it and seen it on the net and I don't know of any such people being interested in scientific papers. They usually run after more busyness or security matters. They would have to understand, first, before knowing what to tamper. I think the risk exists but it's unlikely it will happen. I hope.\par

Hi all,\par
\par
I've been watching this thread with some concern.  How will such a journal \par
be policed?  Would these e-journals be able to guarantee me that my research \par
is not going to be hacked into and changed?  Or would I have to periodically \par
go into my paper and check it to make sure it's still mine?\par
\par
There are a lot of unscrupulous people out there who obviously have way too \par
much time on their hands.  I suppose that I'm being cynical and a bit \par
paranoid, but I don't want any research that I've done to be tampered with \par
by computer hacker idiots.  Am I the only one concerned about this?\par
