The internet has transformed the ways in which scholars and scientists share their findings with each other and the world, creating a scholarly communication environment that is both more complex and more effective than it was just a few years earlier. "Scholarly communication" itself has become an umbrella term for the increasingly complex ecosystem of publications, platforms, and tools that scholars, scientists, and researchers use to share their work with each other and with other interested readers. Scholarly Communication: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers an accessible overview of the current landscape, examining the state of affairs in the worlds of journal and book publishing, copyright law, emerging access models, digital archiving, university presses, metadata, and much more. Anderson discusses many of the problems that arise due to conflicts between the various values and interests at play within these systems: values that include the public good, academic freedom, the advancement of science, and the efficient use of limited resources. The implications of these issues extend far beyond academia. Organized in an easy-to-use question-and-answer format, this book provides a lively and helpful summary of some of the most important issues and developments in the world of scholarly communication -- a world that affects our everyday lives far more than we may realize.

In the academic world, the term "science communication" refers both to a set of professions (such as science journalism and public information work) and to an interdisciplinary scholarly research specialization. Much of this research is aimed at improving our understanding of the best ways to communicate complex information, especially to people who are not scientists. Science communication specialists are concerned with giving people useful information about health, environment, and technology – as well as science itself. In order to do this, we also need to improve our understanding of how people think, form opinions, and process information. Additionally, professional practitioners in science communication are engaged in strategic and ethical decisions every day, such as: How should reporters cover the issue of climate change? Should the views of scientists who do not believe that climate change has been caused by human activity be included alongside the views of those who do, in order to give a "balanced" story, or does this mislead the public into thinking that both of these positions are equally accepted within the scientific community? The Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Communication provides information on the entire range of interrelated issues in this interdisciplinary field in one place, along with clear suggestions on where to begin the search for more. Geared towards undergraduate and graduate students in journalism, communication, mass communication, and media studies, as well as towards working journalists, public information officers, and public relations specialists, this encyclopedia introduces this vast, fascinating field while challenging the reader to question assumptions inherent in communication across disciplinary boundaries.

Comprehensive yet accessible, this key Handbook provides an up-to-date overview of the fast growing and increasingly important area of 'public communication of science and technology', from both research and practical perspectives. As well as introducing the main issues, arenas and professional perspectives involved, it presents the findings of earlier research and the conclusions previously drawn. Unlike most existing books on this topic, this unique volume couples an overview of the practical problems faced by practitioners with a thorough review of relevant literature and research. The practical Handbook format ensures it is a student-friendly resource, but its breadth of scope and impressive contributors means that it is also ideal for practitioners and professionals working in the field. Combining the contributions of different disciplines (media and journalism studies, sociology and history of science), the perspectives of different geographical and cultural contexts, and by selecting key contributions from appropriate and well-respected authors, this original text provides an interdisciplinary as well as a global approach to public communication of science and technology.

This book explores the various ways in which computer networking, and more specifically the Internet, is changing the practices, the structure, and the products of academic scholarship. It considers research, teaching, and dissemination of knowledge across a range of disciplines in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences in order to identify particular uses of networking that will come to constitute the academic world of the future. The contributors consider such themes as how networking and particular software environments can be used to support inquiry within research specialties and how scholars in diverse disciplines respond to the availability of new networked channels of scholarly communication. In the context of education, they argue that networking can reconfigure the process of learning, encompassing new audiences, new relationships with teachers, and new learning skills adapted for the network environment. The products of such new configurations are also discussed. The future of electronic journal publication is considered by innovators who have designed some of the first experiments in refereed electronic journal publication. Finally, the new responsibilities and roles of the academic library and academic publishers in a networked environment are debated.

This book examines science and technology policies in China over time and explores the development of scholarly communication through the lens of the political economy of communication. Despite political censorship and restrictions on the production of academic knowledge in China, the number of scholarly publications has skyrocketed over the past 20 years. By explaining these seemingly contradictory phenomena, this study provides insight into the complex landscape of scholarly communication in China, shaped by the government in collaboration with commercial publishers. The book examines the dynamic relationship between the state and the market, including their key players, which determines the production and dissemination of academic knowledge. From a political economy perspective, it investigates how the academic governance complex, a system that intertwines communication, politics, and economics, has been established in China. It then discusses the impact of this system on the production of academic knowledge in the country. The title will serve as a key reference for academics, researchers, and students interested in the intersection of communication studies, librarianship, and political science, particularly those focusing on China's academic knowledge production and scholarly communication.

Traducción parcial de la Introducción: "Una de las tareas de todo trabajo de investigación es la comunicación de los resultados al resto de los colegas, es decir compartir los hallazgos con los demás de una manera establcida que se conoce popularmente como comunicación científica. La comunicación científica surgió con la publicación de la primera revista "Le Journal des sçavans" en 1665. Sin embargo, el término ganó popularidad en la década de 1970, con a incorporación a las revistas de comités científicos y la revisión "inter pares". Este módulo cuenta con cuatro unidades que cubren introducción a la comunicación académica, revistas científicas, revistas y bases de datos electronicas y la crisis de las publicaciones seriadas. Al final de este módulo, se espera que el alumno sea capaz de: - Explicar la filosofía, misión y objetivos de la comunicación científica - Describir el proceso de la comunicación científica - Identificar los diferentes canales de comunicación académica - Discutir la disfunción de la comunicación académica. En la Unidad 1, Introducción a la comunicación científica, se habla de diferentes aspectos de la comunicación académica, especialmente su génesis, la importancia y la ética de las publicaciones académicas, y diferentes canales de comunicación disponibles en la publicación académica. Algunos de estos canales se describen habitualmente como fuentes primarias, ya que proporcionan un testimonio de primera mano o evidencia directa en relación con un tema que se investiga. Históricamente, las revistas científicas fueron creadas por las sociedades científicas y otras comunidades académicas para informar de los resultados de sus trabajos de investigación concluidos o descubrimientos científicos. En la actualidad son editores privados con fines de lucro quienes han creado las principales revistas de investigación. Unidad 2, Comunicación con Peer Review, abarca dos importantes canales de publicación académica: 1 Revisión por pares en revistas, conferencias y sus procedimientos. 2. Diferentes métodos y procedimientos de revisión por pares para la publicación de literatura primaria surgidas de los estudios de investigación. La revisión por pares es esencial para la validación de la calidad de los resultados de investigación transmitidos por otros investigadores, que están sujetos al cumplimiento de las normas éticas y a la utilización de la metodología de investigación apropiada. En la Unidad 3, Revistas y bases de datos electrónicas, se analiza la aparición de publicaciones periódicas de ámbito académico y de investigación debido a la gran proliferación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). Las comunidades científicas y comunicaciones científicas de los países del sur están recibiendo atenciones sustantivas a través de la adaptación de las revistas electrónicas y bases de datos electrónicas en el proceso de la comunicación de la investigación. En la Unidad 4, la Crisis de Publicaciones Seriadas, se discute el coste de publicaciones revisadas por pares y los problemas que enfrentan los investigadores de los países en desarrollo. El objetivo de esta unidad es destacar los problemas y discutir posibles soluciones, incluyendo la aparición de acceso abierto como una de las soluciones, pues abrir la publicación de revistas ayuda a mitigar algunos de los problemas asociados con la crisis de las publicaciones seriadas.".

Global thought-leaders define the future of research communication. Governments and societies globally agree that a vibrant and productive research community underpins a successful knowledge economy but the context, mechanisms and channels of research communication are in flux. As the pace of change quickens there needs to be analysis of new trends and drivers, their implications and a future framework. The editors draw together the informed commentary of internationally-renowned experts from all sectors and backgrounds to define the future of research communication. A comprehensive introduction by Michael Jubb is followed by two sections examining changing research behaviour and the roles and responsibilities of other key actors including researchers, funders, universities, research institutes, publishers, libraries and users. Key topics include: - Changing ways of sharing research in chemistry - Supporting qualitative research in the humanities and social sciences - Creative communication in a 'publish or perish' culture - Cybertaxonomy - Coping with the data deluge - Social media and scholarly communications - The changing role of the publisher in the scholarly communications process - Researchers and scholarly communications - The changing role of the journal editor - The view of the research funder - Changing institutional research strategies - The role of the research library - The library users' view. This is essential reading for all concerned with the rapidly evolving scholarly communications landscape, including researchers, librarians, publishers, funders, academics and HE institutions. Readership: Researchers, librarians, publishers, funders, academics and HE institutions.

This book has been written with a view to understand the validity of the perceptions of Open Access (OA) e-journals in the Library and Information Science (LIS) field. Using relevant OA journals this book presents and evaluates journals qualitatively and quantitatively. Over the last three hundred years scholarly journals have been the prime mode of transport in communicating the scholarly research process. However in the last few decades, a changing scenario has been witnessed in their form and format. OA is an innovative idea that attracts a fair amount of support and opposition around the world because it bridges the gap between digitally divided scholars by solving the pricing and permission crises that have imbalanced the scholarly communication process. Some scholars are of the opinion that OA has led to a chaotic environment where anyone can publish anything. Scholarly Communication in Library and Information Services records, in detail, the impact by accessing the journals' web site qualitatively and quantitatively in measuring the important elements such as articles, authors, countries, subjects and cited references. Finally, the book calculates the impact factor using synchronous and asynchronous approaches. - First ever study to extensively evaluate LIS Journals' Web site qualitatively by using a newly developed set of criteria - LIS OA journals are also evaluated quantitatively - Counts citations of LIS OA articles in terms of formal citations by using Google Scholar
