Abstrakt
The communication of scientific knowledge is undergoing significant change. At one level, many academics are exerting more control over their intellectual output than ever before. Governments and institutions are keen to find new ways to disseminate the product of publicly funded research to a wider audience through the medium of the web.
Publishers emphasise the importance of a professional approach to the marketing and production of scientific information and, particularly, to the notion of quality control through peer review.
The 'open access' debate is being fiercely argued, with stakeholder groups such as publishers and librarians often taking entrenched positions.
At the same time, relatively new entrants to the knowledge dissemination market such as Google are challenging some fundamental notions of 'publication' with new business models. And social technologies such as blogging and wikis are democratising the right and the ability to contribute to scientific debate. Are these competing or complementary technologies?
Allan Foster will attempt to chart this ever shifting landscape and make some predictions of a more heterogeneous future.
