I want to express the ticks in scientific form. I tried two ways as following

ListLogPlot[Table[{x, 10^x}, {x, -1, 1}], Ticks -> {Automatic, {10^-1, 10^0, 10^1}}] ListLogPlot[Table[{x, 10^x}, {x, -1, 1}], Ticks -> {Automatic, ScientificForm[{10^-1, 10^0, 10^1}]}]

enter image description here

but they just could not work as you can see; the latter even is wrong.

Why & how?

Edit by @belisarius

Scientific Notation is usually understood as ${1.\times 10^{-2}}$, however the OP wants just ${10^{-2}}$. Solutions for both cases can be found in the answers below.
