Access to Scientific Research: Challenges Facing Communications in STM

Description

The debate about access to scientific research raises questions about the current effectiveness of scholarly communication processes. This book explores, from an independent point of view, the current state of the STM publishing market, new publishing technologies and business models as well as the information habit of researchers, the politics of research funders, and the demand for scientific research as a public good.  The book also investigates the democratisation of science including how the information needs of knowledge workers outside academia can be embraced in future. 00_Brown_FM.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 1.pdf 02_Brown_chapter 2.pdf 03_Brown_chapter 3.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 4.pdf 05_Brown_chapter 5.pdf 06_Brown_chapter 6.pdf 07_Brown_chapter 7.pdf 08_Brown_chapter 8.pdf 09_Brown_chapter 9.pdf 10_Brown_chapter 10.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 11.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 12.pdf 13_Brown_chapter 13.pdf Brown_Chapter 14.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 15.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 16.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 17.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 18.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 19.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 20.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 21.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 22.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 23.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 24.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 25.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 26.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 27.pdf print_cont_9783110375169_Brown_chapter 28.pdf BrownIndex.pdf
