Examining the technological context, changing research behavior and the roles and responsibilities of major stakeholders, this volume pinpoints the key agents of change in scholarly communication. Governments and societies around the globe 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. Presenting analysis of these new trends and drivers, their implications and a future framework, editors Shorley and Jubb draw together the informed commentary of internationally-renowned experts from a wide variety of backgrounds to define the future of research communication. Essential reading for all concerned with the rapidly evolving scholarly communications landscape, including researchers, librarians, publishers, funders, and academics, the book's 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 * Perspectives of library users This volume pinpoints the key agents of change in scholarly communication." (SLG: I'm posting this to support the lively discussions both Council as well as other members have held regarding trends in scholarly publication. Perhaps those who read this volume might comment on how some of the phenomena manifest themselves in Judaica/Hebraica publishing trends.)
