The revolution that represents the process of electronic publishing has arose a controversy regarding its advantages and disadvantages compared to printed publications. Issues such as the possible absence of scientific paper screening, the uncertain paternity of some of them, the likely misinterpretations or distortion of the electronic information, the actual convinience and easiness of readers to consult the information, among others, are opposed to the advantages that reside on the potentialities of electronic publishing to quickly share and spread updated information towards wide markets and the broad possiblities of hypermedia that offer a lot of them. These ideas are briefly analized from the point of view of the Analysis and Trends Unit in Health, entity belonging to the Ministry of Public Health which has begun to insert itself in the environment of electronic publishing.

Keywords : ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING [advantages]; ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING [desavantages]; ARBITRATION; ACCESS TO INFORMATION; HYPERMEDIA.
