scholarly communication
 Researchers, who produce scholarly research,
 Publishers, who package scholarly research and
create information products,
 Libraries, who collect, disseminate, and preserve
scholarly research, and
 Users, who translate research into new research
initiatives, government policy, commercial
products, public services, etc.

3. Collaborative knowledge
generation
 Open office
 Online chat
 Instant messaging
 Web conferencing
 Electronic meeting systems (EMS)
 Wikis
 Revision control

 New entries and comments do not substitute
older ones
 It is possible to subscribe in order to receive news
via email or through RSS readers.
 Entries usually include the source of information,
thus validating it.

5. Social bookmarking:
 Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to
organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of
resources online.
e.g. CiteULike is is a free service for managing and
discovering scholarly references
 Reference management software, citation management
software or personal bibliographic management
software is software for scholars and authors to use for
recording and utilising bibliographic citations (references).
Once a citation has been recorded, it can be used time and
again in generating bibliographies, such as lists of
references in scholarly books, articles and essays.
e.g. EndNote

6. Social networking
 It provides a variety of means for users to
communicate and to share content (papers)
 e. g. Academia.edu is a free social
networking website and collaboration tool aimed
at academics and researchers from all fields.

7. Workflows
 myExperiment
 myExperiment makes it easy
to find, use and share scientific workflows and
other Research Objects, and to
build communities.

8. Podcasts
 Authors can share multimedia presentations,
written documents, and images, etc.
 e. g. iTunes

9. Wikis
 A wiki is a website that allows the creation and
editing of any number of interlinked web
pages via a web browser using a
simplified markup language
 arrange for an author, illustrator, storyteller or
poet to visit your library or provide display
materials for any event you wish to host.

10. Future of Scholarly
communication
 No more separate contents and objects that need
to be assembled physically and intellectually, but
complex electronic platforms that allow using both
primary and secondary sources
