publication of EGC-1 papers?

[Laura Morris]

Barry,

I'm really looking forward to the 1st Electronic Glycoscience Conference,
but I have a couple of questions.

In your announcement of EGC-1 you said "It is intended that papers will be
refereed prior to publication in both traditional and electronic formats."
What exactly does this mean with respect to the traditional format? Would a
paper be sent in to a journal (Carbohydrate Research for example) with a
note attached saying that it had already been reviewed by Drs. X and Y when
presented at EGC-1?

And how is a traditional format like Carbohydrate Research going to feel
about publishing a paper that has already been presented in full on the
Web (and is probably still on the Web)?
