Scholarly Communications

Scholarly publishing practices – especially those related to electronic publishing – are rapidly evolving and have not yet formed stable configurations.

Scholarly communication is an umbrella term used to describe the process of academics, scholars and researchers sharing and publishing their research findings so that they are available to the wider academic community (such as university academics) and beyond.
