Scholarly communication involves the creation, publication, dissemination and discovery of academic research, primarily in peer-reviewed journals and books.[1] It is “the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use."[2] This primarily involves the publication of peer-reviewed academic journals, books and conference papers.
There are many issues with scholarly communication, which include author rights, the peer review process, the economics of scholarly resources, new models of publishing (including open access and institutional repositories), rights and access to federally funded research and preservation of intellectual assets.[3]
Common methods of scholarly communication include publishing peer-reviewed articles in academic journals, academic monographs and books, book reviews and conference papers. Other textual formats used include preprints and working papers, reports, encyclopedias, dictionaries, data and visualisations, blogs and discussion forums.[4] Other forms, particularly in the arts and humanities include multimedia formats such as sound and video recordings.
