Le Philosophy Documentation Center a mis en ligne un Guidebook for Publishing Philosophy, dont l'un des chapitres, Electronic Publishing and Philosophy (format PDF), examine les changements apportés par l'apparition du Web :

The ability to publish in real time and the availability of more immediate responses are structural changes in the profession that are rapidly influencing the practice of philosophy. Philosophy is becoming less an account of debates between established texts and leading commentaries, and much more a lived discourse on problems and issues in contemporary society. Cyperspace has made it possible for philosophy to return to the much more public space of the agora, where daily conversation among philosophers and sophists is not subject to the bureaucracy of publishing houses and a litany of reviewers.
