Scholarly communication must transform

9:21 AM Musings 2 Comments

In light of my last post on Publish or Perish: The Plague of Academia, I ran across a ten part series called "Scholarly Communication Must Transform," written by Gideon Burton, an Assistant Professor in the English department at one of my alma maters, Brigham Young University.  In this series, Gideon discusses his views on the subject.  Very interesting reads.

Here are his topics:

• Scholarly communications must be open


• Scholarly communications must be standards-compliant


• Scholarly communications must be syndicated


• Scholarly communications must be Integrated Into the Cyberinfrastructure


• Scholarly communications will transform via Cybermetrics


• Scholarly communications must be mobile, and


• Scholarly communications must be scalable


• Scholarly communications in the Long Tail of knowledge


• Scholarly communications must not wait for peer review.

Enjoy!
