Given the revolutionary changes currently taking place in social communication, it becomes extremely important to study new media phenomena as well as to describe and categorise them. With regard to internet resources used in scientific communication, one of the possible strategies is verification to what extent new internet forms and genres correspond to traditional typologies of documents. The article provides a description of the result of a preliminary analysis of this phenomenon, an analysis covering the following categories: non-written e-documents (visual, audio and audiovisual documents), written e-documents (which acquire the status of publications as they become available digitally, which exist in the printed or manuscript form, which do not exist in the printed form, which do not have their printed equivalents), as well as primary, secondary and derivative e-documents.

The author of the article uses Thomas S. Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions to analyse media revolutions. She compares various ideas of social communication development to such beliefs questioned by Kuhn as the cumulative character of science and the purposefulness of scientific progress. The author presents a possible interpretation of the notion of paradigm in the context of communication, and uses the history of book culture to depict the functionality and problems related to a particular system of communication and the beginning of a crisis. From a number of communication tools aspiring to establish a new paradigm system, she selects computer technology as the one that fulfils the relevant conditions to the greatest extent. Referring to relevant excerpts of Kuhn’s work, she explains which factors may determine the success of a media revolution.
