Current Models of Digital Scholarly Communication: Results of an Investigation Conducted by Ithaka Strategic Services for the Association of Research Libraries

The role of correspondence sections in post-publication peer review: A bibliometric study of general and internal medicine journals

“…However, the status of electronic responses to journal articles (as compared to formal letters to the editor) varies from journal to journal. Electronic responses are not properly indexed in electronic literature databases and not yet considered fully equivalent to printed correspondence by the scientific community [16]. For the present study, we therefore refrained from including additional data about these sources.…”

“…The specialist journal Pediatrics gave its electronic response items the promising name "P3R" which stands for "Post-Publication Peer Review" [34]. While the possibilities of electronic publishing raise hopes for improved post-publication peer review, many researchers still do not take advantage of these innovations and continue to publish more traditional articles, even in electronic journals [16]. Several important questions remain: How can journals achieve that electronic correspondence is fully visible and searchable e.g.…”

Research Publishing by Library and Information Science Scholars in Pakistan: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…The role which scholarly communication plays within this context has been explored by a range of contemporary thought leaders, including Liu (2003), Thorin (2006), Borgman (2007), and Maron and Smith (2008). Much has been written, for example, about the changing nature of scholarly publishing (Rowlands et al, 2004).…”

Textual representations and knowledge support-systems in research intensive networks

“…For a time, printing made it possible for many peers to read and criticise the same version of a document. However, beyond this historical revolution, beginning with the exponential developments of computers in the 1950s and the internet in the 1970s, new technologies supporting scholarly research and communication are becoming more and more sophisticated and interconnected (ARL 2009;Lederberg 1991;Mackenzie Owen 2005;Maron and Kirby Smith 2008;Mukherjee 2009). These now are extending the capacity of human cognition for research in what Hall (2006b) claims is a revolution in our abilities to process codified knowledge (see also Carr and Harnad 2009;Dror and Harnad 2008).…”
