Establishing a Research Agenda for Scholarly Communication: A Call for Community Engagement

Abstract

This white paper, by ACRL's Scholarly Communications Committee, encourages academics, librarians and their key partners to gather more data on practices that both enable and inhibit the production of scholarship and its communication. The report results from a one-day invitational meeting to collectively brainstorm the evidence needed to manage and influence the changing system of scholarly communication. It identifies eight themes, with research possibilities in each area, and invites broad comment.
