Electronic academic journal websites provide new services of text and/or data
mining and linking, indispensable for e¢ cient allocation of attention among abun-
dant sources of scienti?c information. Fully realizing the bene?t of these services
requires interconnection among websites. Motivated by CrossRef, a multilateral
citation linking backbone, this paper performs a comparison between multilateral
interconnection through an open platform and bilateral interconnection, and ?nds
that publishers are fully interconnected in the former regime while they can be par-
tially interconnected in the latter regime for exclusion or di¤erentiation motives.
Surprisingly, if partial interconnection arises for di¤erentiation motive, exclusion of
small publisher(s) occurs more often under multilateral interconnection. We also
?nd that in the case of multilateral interconnection, a for-pro?t platform induces
less exclusion than an open platform. Various other extensions are analyzed.
