The science journal is 346 years old in 2011, having evolved continuously but largely incrementally over that period. Its reinvention for an online presence has largely preserved its previously printed nature, in the sense that much of the increased functionality which is potentially offered by this new medium has yet to be exploited. In the present article an attempt is made to discuss two previously published papers, one in 1953 and the other in 2010, and to illustrate how additional functionality can be implemented in the form of accessible data sourced from quantum mechanical calculation and how subsequent discourse in the form of blogs may add to the process. In this sense, the reader of this article is invited to try for themselves whether these enhancements improve their scientific understanding, and whether such enhanced journals are good models for the future evolution of the genre.
该科学期刊在 2011 年已有 346 年的历史,在这段时间里它一直在不断发展,但主要是逐步发展。为了适应在线存在,它进行了彻底的改革,但在很大程度上保留了其之前的印刷形式,因为这种新媒介提供的许多增强功能尚未得到充分利用。在本文中,我们尝试讨论两篇之前发表的论文,一篇发表于 1953 年,另一篇发表于 2010 年,并举例说明如何以可访问的量子力学计算数据的形式实现附加功能,以及后续的博客形式的讨论如何对此过程加以补充。从这个意义上说,本文的读者可以自行尝试这些增强功能是否提高了他们的科学理解,以及这种增强型期刊是否是该类型未来发展的良好模式。
